Great image.

I actually like how the focus and non-focus works so well. The 'good' rose is near and in the present, the 'bad' rose is fading off into the distance. :-)

You think this is hard... try particle physics! :)

The contrast is very good.

Like it: good rose, good focus in front, bad old bud, bad focus at back. DOF suits this perfectly

Cindi Smith		15-May-2008 04:55
hehehe! This works well for the challenge and you have a half dead one in-between!

carol j. phipps		15-May-2008 04:17
