This really stands out in the thumbnail -so pretty with detail as the light shines through, blurred background. Excellent! jano

Thank you Penny, Tommy, and Doug. I'm glad you liked it.

It's the gentle amount of color that works for me. So many times we are tempted to bump the color to the max. Keeping the flower petals almost pastel is a treat. -Doug

Great catching the light Mary Anne. The petals really "pop". It's also interesting how the colors here look sort of similar to my construction site - kind of harsh but so romantic eh? -tv

I love the bokeh almost as much as the light. The subdued colors, interesting shadows and shapes make this an outstanding entry. Great job, Mary Anne!
