F/2.8 used to blur the background, making the red flowers stand out. All comments welcome and appreciated, thanks!

Nice picture Stephen. You got very good detail on the flower and the darker blurred background works well. I would also suggest a tighter crop. Although you did a great job of blurring the background there is too much of it. Its not really needed. I would crop about an inch off the right hand side and 2 inches from the bottom and about 3.5 inches from the right side. Good job

Hi Stephen - Yes, the red flowers do stand out - especially when viewing the thumbnail. They are nicely in focus. I think the image would be improved if you did a little cropping for a better view of the flowers but not too much - you would still want them to stand out.
