The bokeh is fine, but the colors in the background don't really allow the great color you got in the flower to show itself off. That would be my only criticism.

Could it be fixed in post? EOS 5D Mark II - EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM - EF 50mm f/1.4 USM - EF 40mm f/2.8 STM - Speedlite 600EX-RT - Alien Bees B800 x2

Titus213 Cream of the Crop  More info | Mar 21, 2011 00:39 | #6 I think your light is too harsh resulting in too much contrast. And the BG is very busy. Together they make for a very unsettling picture for me, and flowers should be relaxing. Dave

Mar 21, 2011 16:29 | #8 The light is too harsh. If you want great flower pictures, you need to shoot when you've got diffused light (cloudy but bright) or bring something to diffuse the light. WHen theres' too much contrast between the light and dark parts, it loses the appeal. That's just a general statement, but I think it applies to this picture. 6D | 7D MkII | 16-35 f4L | 35 f1.2L II | 135 f2L | 180 f3.5L | 400 f5.6L
