I knew a rude becky in high school.

Thanks for not cloning out the pollen from the one leaf. That is the real world there. The soft focus outwards of the center really draws my eyes inwards.

Day 1- Echinacae

Comment:
I've never really looked closely at the center on one of these.
On the outside, it looks like syringes like a dentist uses to administer Novocaine, and the delicate flowers on the inside, looking like, well, delicate flowers. ;)
The soft approach on this was the right choice.

Portrayal of a Soul

Tried to fave this, but says something about it already being in my favorites. I wanna fave it again.

I honestly can't put my finger on why I like this so much. The longer I look at it, the deeper it connects.
Music has a way of changing how an image looks & feels as well, and just found myself listening to
Calling all Angels by Jane Siberry with KD Lang, and temorarily left the real world, being absorbed in the moment.

My first impression on this was that I was looking at umbrellas that had been blown backwards and are spinning.
Really Nice!!

I think you are trying to trick us by using an apple as a stand-in.

This is entirely cool. So very natural.

I really love the effect from that f/1.2 monster.

Off to note on my calendar that Hanneke's taking snapshots.
Cool ones at that!

Stay out of your studio more often - I wanna' see where your eyes go and what's next.

But, you're not allowed to upstage me in the process.
LOL

Nice collection!
Only suggestion is a light cloning or reshaping of the bottom part of the 2nd one from the top on the left side so it doesn't look "cut-off"
