Shallow dof but gorgeous depth of colour. The shade of red fits your title perfectly. The light and water drops caught in the shallow dof give such a beautifully magical feel to the whole image. Lovely work. So creative!!!

Great capture, drippingly delicious!

So beautiful :o)

The depth of field is alsmost sooo shallow that the work has become just another abstract, instead of the image it could have become (my opinion of course). I sthis a situation of too little, too late???

Hi karen thanks for the comments which were thought provoking. It was my intention to use a 2.8 f-stop in order to minimise the depth-of-field. I intended the abstract as i wanted to highlight the water drops against the out of focus red of the flower. Other versions with more depth didn’t look as good (my opinion). Thanks again
