An interesting approach to an Autumn abstract-spring in the fall. I like the way you maintained focus on the one center flower and the colors are beautifully reminiscent of fall.

I got behind here and will never catch up but I had to jump back in on this one, which I find much more interesting than the usual zoom blur. There is a nice underlying symmetry with the differently-colored tulip in the center, and nicely accented by the similar group in the UL. The radial lines are subtle and the focus blur at the edges is such a lovely touch. Excellent work that deserves a close look!

I appreciate your comments and I agree that the zoom method can often be a bust. It was the lone red tulip that caught my eye and sent me “zooming”

Fantastic image; well done!
