I took these two images earlier this morning. Stoked on how they turned out but confused to which one i should run - torn between the two. No PS has been done to the shots.
Advice....

    In the second I'd prefer the focus to be on the leadign edge of the near piece of mango(?) or on the far piece.

    However, I prefer the second shot. Although I'm undecided whether I like ir out of focus or I'd prefer it focussed.

    Blurred
    I would vote for the first except its all blur and nothing catches the eye. I think there;s no focal point. B

    I like the first one, but I think it is improved slightly by making a levels adjustment, and boosting the contrast a little.

    A small satturation boost to give it a little more pop helps too.

    I also wish there were something "sharp" in the image, but the artistci choice to go with the soft with emphasis on the color is yours to make.

    the idea was to try and make the yellow buds at the bootom of the flower in focus and keep the purple color of the flower soft - but i m having trouble focusing my camera correctly. // canon ixus 4mp. manual settings i think it was ISO 50, vivid, AWB.

    thanks so much for the feedback guys, really stoked on it!!
