i give it a 3.5. your composition could use a little adjustment...bring the flower more in from the edge, don't ceter it, but your main focus is too far to the edge and not well enough in the golden mean, it won't present well with a mat and frame. that is the only issue, otherwise it is a great close up. i don't think the background is out of focus so much as that is what they call bokeh... i like that look it brings out more of the main focus.

2.5. Good Concept. I like the color of the flower, but as some stated the background is a little distracting, work on that part. But you are not that far off from a 5

I'm going to have to say 3 out of 5 because I find the way it is cropped and the composition distracting. I would like to see more open space to the left of the flower like there is at the top, so it does not appear to be "squished" on one side. Other than that I love the color and subject.

A bit of constructive criticism - plse don't take the wrong way.

The background is very distracting.

The purple flower is not 100% sharp

Overall the picture is very static. A bee or humming bird hovering around would have been better.

2 out of 5 - sorry

3... would have been nice to have the background not immeidately become out of focus but have a bit of the green leaves below the flower first. Looks great though

If you are asking how exclusive you made it, a nine. Fuller lips, longer eyelashes, exclusive dermis tone, exclusive form of eyebrows. However, your edited variation appears like an IMUV person and now not a truly individual.

Great placement of the flower and focus.

the background is too distracting. would have helped if it was more neutral and solid. I like the bokeh though. And the focus is good.

i like this shot i would give it 3/5 i also have a flickr account
