Soft

I gave myself a challenge to try shallow depth of field with a borrowed 100mm lens.

Very pretty and nicely executed :)

Well done!!!! I love the dof in this and the color too!

And did it very well, Allison. What a lovely color and interesting flower. Don't think I'm familiar with it. Excellent job with your dof but still retaining super focus on the stamens.

love the focus! great job! is it a hosta bloom?

[Allison Maltese]

@sunnygreenwood @milaniet Yes, it is a hosta. I cut the dead stalks down and got a second flowering.

I really like your shallow depth of field, you also caught some beautiful bokeh in the background. Well done!

[Alison Tomlin]

Worked out great. Love those purple tones.

Super nice shot! Love the softness and detail.

Beautifully done. I enjoy the repeating colour in the nicely abstracted background too.
