I actually prefer Jim's version, but with the tighter crop.
In Moose's version with the blurred background, I can't get past seeing
all the "halos" around the flower petals. I am sure this is simply due
to it being a quick post processing job, but I still prefer Jim's edit
on this one. I find that for my personal preferences, the background is
not overly distracting at all with the bright spots. If anything, it's
more realistic.
that's my .02 worth. :-)
