A flowery attempt...

Right in the heart of the flower. Great details and lighting. Well done!

All depends on what you want to get out of the shot - I would be incredibly happy with this - it's beautiful.

I love your "attempt" ! What a lovely macro Nic ! You perfectly manage the DOF.

Its all a matter of what you want, I personally would be so happy with this shot, the detail in the centre is so crisp, and surrounded by lovely soft colors

Nice DOF Control!

Lovely work. Like beautiful jewellery.

interesting image.. for some reason it has a plastic feel .. which is kinda neat :)))

Wow! It's an incredible attempt, I'd say. I love the sharp focus on the flower bits with the petals out of focus. Beautiful.
