Shot this one yesterday and liked it better than the blackberry blossom, despite the fact that it wasn't with the 5dMk2. My 40D is still good!

Now that the challenge is over, I wanted to note that the OOF blur was intentional (but perhaps a bit more than intended.) The idea was to have the lilac blossoms sort of "emerge" from the mass and give the impression of the scent wafting up and out. The lilac is a dwarf Korean variety and sits outside our front door - the smell is... well, intoxicating. :lol:

I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.
