Wonderful use of selective focus to draw our attention to one part of a flower. The white flower creates a great backdrop with the bokeh that your selective focus has created. And the rest of the background is blurred enough not to interfere with the flower image.   Posted: 09/11/2023 17:46:57

A very soft and well-controlled image. A limited colour palette makes it an easy image to like.   Posted: 09/14/2023 10:12:55

Hi Russell,Lovely image of the flower stamens, great narrow DOF that isolates the subject well, Image nice and soft and sharp where needs to be, background has no distractions, the square crop works well, filling the frame with the subject   Posted: 09/16/2023 05:55:59

Wow, a 365 challenge, I'm impressed!
Great shot, perfect focus and then everything goes into a soft blur. Whites are hard to work with sometimes; you handled it so well.   Posted: 09/16/2023 21:49:44
