Hi Jack, Thanks for looking. Don't be reluctant to express an opinion. That's why we do this. It's interesting how the take on the DOF here varies. Two have had a problem with the OOF rear flower. Some have found it pleasing. I guess it's a matter of how we see things. I experimented with several different stops before I shot this. To me, this was the best rendering. It's at f9.5. In my estimation that yielded the best compromise of receding DOF and definition for the second flower. I felt the receding DOF was important both to blur the background and to establish a perspective between the two flowers.
