My apologies for not posting for almost a month...wow, it's been a while! This week is spring break for me, but I haven't taken any photos yet. I'll hopefully get out shooting sometime this week. Temps are in the 90's all week. Seems like summer already.
I will try to write more tomorrow to catch up on the "blogging" part of my photoblog, but for now enjoy the photo!

Such a beautiful shot. Great composition, colour and dof!

I think the slightly soft focus and neg exposure bias create the perfect mood for such a subject. "Normal" light levels and sharper focus would have taken away from the emotive quality your final image produced.
The trailing pedals (or leading, depending on your mind's eye) on the left help to draw my attention to the buds.

I love this picture!!! You can almost feel the velvety soft petals. The contrast of colors is very pleasing and the contrast of textures is very appealing!
I want this for my computer wall paper. Thanks!
