Comment from chickadee
So darn pretty and have seen these only in New Zealand! What a great shot with the three lined up. First in sharp focus and the focus getting softer with each bloom! Lovely natural colors with a great neutral b.g. to make the blooms stand out so nicely!! Perfect framing and best of luck in the contest!

Very beautiful shot. Love the rich colors and how they are lined up and one is very focused and crisp the next a tad less focus and the thirds even less focus. VEry nice thank you so much for sharing .

Comment from Anne
These are beautiful flowers. I like the way they have the yellow on the, I like the way you have three of them in the picture. I think this would have been better if they were in focus more. Not sure the vignette is a plus for this one.

Thanks Anne, sometimes think I need to get my glasses/eyesight checked looked quite in focus when I previewed but noticed the problem after others have picked it up :)

Comment from PoohBear
Very beautiful capture here. I think I just might have focused on the middle flower so that maybe all three flowers were a little bit sharper. This is however a very nice photo!

Comment from outsideMAN
They look lovely to me, what are the called? Your photo has a very good composition, but unfortunately the tip of the bottom petal is missing, but I won't hold this against you as I love this image. Its like an exercise in focusing and depth of field! Whatever you did has worked! Great shot, well don and best of luck in the competition!!
