Again a stunning photo, the colors are mysterious and makes the picture become mysterious and fairytale like.
only thing I cant figure out about this picture is where to actually look , the main focused object is way out of my eye sight , and I cant seem to get my eyes focused on it , this you might want to keep in mind when taking photographs ; what do you want the viewer to see ? what do you wanna tell.
and in this picture Im not understanding if its the foreground or the blurred background I'm supposed to see , A gentle cropping to get the foreground flower in focus might be ideal , or just moving it , if its possible. I love the blurred background and the sharp flower in the front , but unluckily the sharp flower is way off the background , so they don't come together as a wholeness.
Other wise the bokeh is great , the colors a in a fairytale symphony and generally speaking you're technique is good , but you gotta watch what you wanna show the viewer of the photo , how to make a strong impact.
Think about this and you'll make pictures everyone wants to buy , because you have the basics of it , just needs a little touching up.

Hi again Michelle!
I know that this shot isn't so canonic in its composition, but I thought it like it is: a soft game! I wanted that who saw this image needed to keep more time for focusing it! I wanted to communicate a feeling of loneliness, I wanted that people thought and felt how the world around them could be big and distant... But the flowers in background are the same kind of the subject, and the sensation of loneliness and difference that this conveys is only an illusion, because we are all in the same situation!
I only tried to communicate an emotion, more than make a good shot! (:
Thank you again for your critiques, dear!
I would like to have more of them from you!

ah! I can see that , but yet again those comments I made , I think they will make that emotion even stronger.
If you get that little lonely flower more infocus , It'll give more contrast and make it feel more lonely, atleast Thats what I would feel , dont you think ?
I can totally see where you're going though , but I think my comments will make this message of this lonely flower even stronger ^^

Yes, for the focus you are totally right!
I'm astigmatic, so sometime I can't see if the subject is totally in focus... For this shot I used a softner filter (that takes away a little the sharpness) and the manual-focus (having a wrong focus setting -spot- I know)! I think next time I'll use a different setting!
