I really like the way the lighter purple tones in this emphasize the soft look of the petals and the darker tones emphasize the veins and depth of the flower.

"Foliage" is an excellent addition into the Abstract challenge, and I am very glad to see you finished in the top 10%. Just thumbing through the challenge I remember this thumbnail sticking out. The frame is so full and bright it demands attention. The detail of this close up is amazing. The little spider enhances this shot, it is what clued me into what the shot was of. I think when voters have to stop and try and figure out what we are looking at is a prefect fit for an abstract. The contrasting colors of the leaves give so much depth as opposed to leaves that were just one color. Also the edges separate the image from a boring run of the mill close up. Personally I don't see anything I would change or recommend trying. I personally would be extremely proud of this piece if I were you. Good work.
