The blur effect and centering the subject don't do much to bring out the subject. 4

this is making me dizzy but the more I look the more I like. i think a cool title for this one would be falling in a dream, cause it is what my dreams look like. 8

I would like to see the rose a little bigger and with a little more detail, but a cool picture!

Well this is different it kind of messes with your eyes, but it goes well with the objective of the shot.

Comment by JelloPhotog:
You've missed the mark with this, according to Webster Minimalism is "a style or technique (as in music, literature, or design) that is characterized by extreme spareness and simplicity" There is way to much going on here with the blur forcing your into the center of the image. The subject is out of focus, it is too centered. Use the rule of thirds, lose the radial zoom technique focus sharply on the subject and reshoot, then you may have something.

I think this would have been a much more effective photo without the effect. Yes, it draws your eye to the flower, but when I got there, I was rather disappointed to find that nothing was in clear focus at all. I would love to see the photo in sharp focus.

This is a powerful way to address a centered composition....however...
It would be nice to see better focus on the flower since there is little rest for the eye, I just want some reward for all the work my mind must do. Unfortunately, there are points to rest on and they seem to be bits of sensor dust. In an advance editing challenge those could be easily addressed with cloning, of course.
