 The gentle curve and curl of a two day old hibiscus blossom, just after the morning water supply. It might be just a bit stronger color than some might consider "pastel", but it looks soft and easy to me.
Shot with the old SMC-M 50mm f2 and an inexpensive extension tube.

Nice composition. At first I thought it was grainy but I think it's just the structure of the leaf. To me, it could do with being a touch sharper.

this is a very nce shot, fits the challenge very well! it just lost a point or 2 fromme because i felt the image was missing a little something. perhaps a tiny splash of a contrasting colour would make it pop a little more?
