•  Oppose  Neutral Don't hate me, but the parties out of focus in the foreground are very disturbing to me,sorry --LivioAndronico ^(talk) 21:24, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

@Livio：Don't worry, cannot any more... --Laitche (talk) 21:30, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

• The flowers are not my field, if benh like so...maybe I was too hard--LivioAndronico ^(talk) 22:22, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

• weak  Support I agree with Livio. But I still think this ranks among our finest, and the blur adds a sense of depth. Nice lighting, nice background. Would focus stacking works here ? - Benh (talk) 22:14, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

•  Oppose As Livio stated; chasing bokeh you ran to too shallow DOF and stacking is needed. Also crop is not so lucky here (isn't centered and tight above) --Mile (talk) 07:07, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
  • This is no crop image, it's only downsampled therefore I cloned top and the left, Regards. --Laitche (talk) 09:38, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose Shallow DOF, the central flow is completely out of focus. --Uoaei1 (talk) 07:54, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment @Benh: @Mile: I've never done focus stacking. I've shotten several different focus shot but every shot was different position by wind, so I think focus stacking is difficult for this kind of subject. If I had a chance I would try that :) --Laitche (talk) 09:38, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

•  Comment I know that. But that's why Feautered class is someway above ordinary shot, to bring some more. In this case, portion in focus is way to small to represent this flower. I am sure it can be done much better. Positioning can be solved with underlaying layers, go to stacking, select all layers, auto-align first, then do auto-blend. This can solve some, but often manual blending is necessary. --Mile (talk) 09:51, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

• @Mile: Thanks for your kindly advice! I've never done focus stacking, so it's very helpful (: In fact, I aimed background effect here hence the subject was no matter... but course main subject is important for sure! --Laitche (talk) 10:30, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
