This is a beautiful picture. I look foward to some technical details. The color is amazing. The background is, of course, perfect for the subject, especially the clouds. The only thing that isn't point on is that you can tell, immediately, that it's a plant and is easily identified so the abstractness is not quite consistent with the "Abstract Macro" assignment. It's going on my favorites list, though.

I am not quite sure this is abstract enough. Your colours look oversaturated and not natural.

OMG that ruler brings back memories of my early school days. I had actually forgotten those multi-timber rulers existed.

it appears that the lighting and DOF could use a little tweeking

Interesting photo, shows lines and curves but it's not in focus and the lighting is too harsh.

Not so simple, but a pleasure none-the-less.

It looks fun but I don't know if it riding motorcycles like this could really be considered a "simple" pleasure. One must buy the bike and all the gear and then something to haul them to a place to ride - that is very expensive which makes it something not many people can enjoy. I guess I think of "simple pleasure" as something that is available to just about everyone at very little or no cost.
