Just a flower I bought to try to see how I'd do with a macro. I'm glad Juliboc liked it, because I kept looking at her flowers when trying to compose it.

Two reasons I can think of to do an abstract of a flower: to see up close what flowers are made of, all their "bits and pieces" as people on this side of the pond like to say; or, to look into another world, a place where no man has ever ventured, and will never venture. I see both here; an experiment in looking at flowers, but also a new universe, a delight of light, and shadow, of tones and colors, of places to rest (if you were small enough), of places to run and to hide, but always in fun, never for real. I'd like to live here, I think.

Thanks for the compliment above -- it is a nice surprises.

I don't agree that this is over exposed. I really like the light and exposure. The effect you achieved is almost 3-D. My only regret about this shot is that I can't see to the bottom of those stamen or pistils (I don't know flower parts). My eye keeps going to the bottom of the shot and trying to peek in behind the lower edge of the frame.
