This is a good one Dawn. Are you beginning to panic - yet?
The FG poppy stands out so beautifully against teh blurred BG. Nicely composed MF

Hi Dawn, I do like it and think it fits the criteria very well. The pattern of the stalks, vibrant colours and the one flower "in Focus". Yes, I would think it is a honours. Well done!

The beautiful colour combination makes the picture.
Well done. Cheers from Jan

Hello Dawn
you are making my selection for YOUR presentation so hard for me!
I really like this one so far... but.. I really like the one with your fairytale!
This shot is really pretty and deserves to be printed and framed... oh for me as a gift? SURE! lol

Personally I don't like what the Radial blur did. would like to see a WS without it before I judge it's effect. Longer lens and bigger F-stop on a single flower that is isolate from the others. Another thought - can you turn down the radial blur filter?

The blurring of the BG flowers is expertly done and really makes the foreground poppy stand out. Great work
What's this about panic???

I think we will not get any winter in Holland this year, again. So I hope it will be spring soon. Even more when I see this kind of pictures.

Well done, Dawn.

Best regards,

Don't know about that.
I really find the BG distracting. Like there was too much movement and it takes the view from the main subject.
Still a very good experiment.
