  3. Lovely flower, I like the diagonal placement. The background is wonderfully out-of-focus, but perhaps a bit too bright.

  4. Thanks for the comment, Harry. I actually upped the brightness because I really liked it. I found it eye-pleasing and liked what it did for the bokeh. Everyone has opinions, though. :-)
