Kinda unusual to what you use to post, but I think you did succeeded.

Well - i'm sure you know how i'm not a big fan of blur - but actually i think this works rik. Maybe a tad tad tad (tiniest teeniest weeniest bit) over softened but not tooooooo much. I love how the angle and focus on the flower anyhow allow the rest to REALLY blur! and the fact there is bot hthe flower and the bud in shot - adds something to it. a pair!
