Hola Mary!. Me gusta muchísimo el contraste de color con el desenfocado del fondo pero noto a faltar algo de definición y nitidez en la flor.
Saludos.

Beautiful - the colors are vibrant, the bokeh is perfect - I would never have known there was a city back there. Thanks for reminding me that such beauty can be found anywhere if you look hard enough.

Great macro and wonderful colors, in the flower and in the background, it makes unity.
The 'modelé' (smoothness, detailed gradation, i think) is beatiful. GREAT shot.
