And you have said it with flowers Annie.

The DoF really works and with some nice bokeh in the background. The sharpness of the flower that appears to be the main focal point is good and the colours are nice and rich.

Nice work,

Mark

hi Annie,

This makes a perfect Christmas card... It the holiday season colors the green,, red and white. Now to the technical comment. The focused FG is improved by the blurred flowers in the BG. Well done... and TFS

Hi Annie,
Nice vivid colors of this lovely natural bouquet with a stunning bokeh BG. I like the green cast all over! Great performance of this 50mm at f/2!
Very neat work enclosed in this elegant 3D frame.

Wow wow Annie , quel joli bokeh et bouquet , j'ai rarement vu les petites cercles se former en bas à droite , ça du grand bokeh , le plus ouvert est l'ouverture plus efficace est le rendu du bokeh et la profondeur de champs, c'est net ou il se doit et la saturation des couleurs est optimale ,les tons sont intenses , le rouge se démarque si bien . Oh oui, dites-le avec des fleurs , bien pensé comme idée et c'est superbement exécuté ,bravo pour ton trvail ,
Mes respects,
Carol

Another wonderful floral capture with such colorful bokeh, Annie!

Amazing details and perfect placement of the flowers within the frame.
Good use of natural light and exposure is beautifully handled.
Great work!

Thanks and regards,

Hi Annie,
A wonderful presentation of these flowers. The bokeh adds that bit of extra to the photo and created a dream like feel to the photo. The white balance is perfect with just the right amount of blue to keep the leaves green and natural. Maybe a slightly smaller aperture would have worked as well. It would've allowed for just a few more in focus flowers. Not sure it would still give you this bokeh.
TFS,
Niek

Hello Annie
Lovely shot captured with beautiful bokeh and lovely diffused light while the contrast colors of red and green makes it one lovely contribution to the bokeh theme.
Have a Nice Weekend.

Hello Annie, the striking bright red flowers against the green make a wonderful composition.
The contrast of the flower shapes with the sword like leaves adds to the shot;and the bokeh is beautiful.
The flowers look like Crocosmia[?]
You certainly know how to 'say it with flowers.'
Best wishes Jean.

Hello Annie,

beautiful composition of these flowers. I really like the lighting and how it makes the colours appear cooler and restful. Effective DOF, focus and framing in this wish card format.

Hi Annie,

Missed this one. Good sharpness & superb use of a very shallow dof. Excellent bg bokeh, nice repetition of the circles of confusion, & wonderful colour & saturation. Merci!
