It's OK now Suzi, it was not all displayed before the right edge was missing but is all right now.

Didn't actually think it was soft, it isn't on my monitor, it looks soft in the sense that a rose looks soft, has a softness to it
So, no haven't edited it to give it any "softness", only my fave 1x1 crop , that I love with flowers, and fiddled with the colours in lightroom till, I was happy.

Doesn't look soft here - just looks like a shallow DoF

That's a super image.
I like the colour and I like the composition.
You've got it sharp on that pointy petal but I wonder if the focus should have been on the middle of the flower or perhaps the dof a bit deeper so the middle and the pointy bit were sharp ???
That was a question rather than a suggestion as I would like to try and do more flower shots myself.

Thank you
Yep, I think I should of got the focus more centred, and I think that was what Jack meant
and I took it meaning OOF 'soft"
The problem is I love shallow DOF, and like to have some softness to a flower, guess it is a case of balancing the two
but, I am happy with this one, been a while since I did any flowers.
