Using the STF 135 gives me endless bokeh possibilities, I was trying for a simple composition with a dynamic almost outerworldly background on this shot.

Thanks all of you :) Glad you like it.Do you find the background "swirl" to be a distraction from the theme by chance?

I like the swirl. Makes me think the fragrence of the flower is being released. #4204322Carl D. Garrard April 24, 2007
