Nice set Steve - but No.2 is absolutely spot on, the oof petals and the glow are just perfect

Thanks John.
Glad you like it, that's the shot I set out to take. It took ages to find an angle that picked out a single flower and get the tripod (and my limbs
) in the right position.
No. 1 was the best of the attempts to get several flowers in the same shot and looking half decent. No. 3 was an attempt to give the impression that everything in the plane of the screen/paper is oof and the front petals are coming out towards the viewer. Still a work in progress...

Thanks folks. I can claim no cedit for either the colour or the bokeh!

I'm loving the opening image more that gives a good balance of sharpness and OOF

A subtle range of tones throughout the set - 2 is rather the special one for me also.
