 This a stamen of a purple flower.

Summary:
My intention for the shot was to get as close as possible to the stamen of the purple flower with my lens to capture the minute details that lay on it. After many angles and many failed attempts to get a shot close enough to being in focused, this is what I managed to produce.

Crop
Saturation 5%
Brightness -5%
Sharpen High

It does look yummy, but I'm betting it's only bee-eatible. Center of a flower, but I don't know which.

Not very puzzling...
Nice, especially the colours. Personnally, I would not have focused on the stamen, it distracts a bit from the softness of the flower.
