The purpose of the image is to highlight overlaps of flower parts. The sharp sepal and petal base grading into a soft focus to the upper left is intentional.
Any comments are welcome.

Lovely abstract feel to this image, Paul. Love the movement in the lines and the composition you’ve created. Nicely done.
WOW! This is a thread that practically opened all by itself. The detail of shape and light in the LR is gorgeous, and the gradation of sharpness following the flowing lines is perfect! I love the tonal detail in the darker greens.
Love these extreme close-ups. I’m trying to take some, but it’s hard to get the comp and camera position just right. This certainly works well. The contrasting colors create a nice dynamic.
The overlap is definitely the star here. Especially in the green sections. I love the striations particularly, the way they curve and fan out and have different trajectories in the different parts. The subtle veining is a nice touch…keeps it real if you know what I mean. If you don’t, I mean that it’s an organic touch that reminds us it’s a living thing. The slice of lighter green with the silhouette is a nice touch. Bravo!
Beautiful colors, shapes and light. A very elegant close up.
