I don't know... as far as abstract mess phases go, this is pretty good. Has a nice smooth feeling to it and I love the frame.

this looks quite cool, i like the narrow dof. gives this picture an abstract look.

Abstract, yes. But mess? No. I think this is really pretty! I love flowers when they have that soft dreamy look to them. The color version is really striking too! Beautiful photography if you ask me :)

I find it to be a very interesting abstract mess. Look forward to seeing others whilst you struggle through. Great composition.

man .. gorgeous shapes here ..
i just put a comment on your colour version .. and was pleasantly surprised when i looked at this one again .. when comparing with the colour the b&w suffered .. but without the comparison i'm finding more and more to like in this one .. i'm now liking them as much as each other, only in different ways .. excellent close-up .. delicate and subtle .. lovely ..:)

i've just looked at the black and white version, in fact i'm commenting on it right now in another window, but thought i'd like to see the colour version before going on .. must say i much prefer this one in colour .. it loses so much in b&w .. for starters there is a beautiful translucent quality in the foreground petal in the colour version that is totally lost in the b&w ... there is more, but i've had a big day & i think my brain may start reverting to lunacy if i put too much of a strain on it ..
i will now finish my comment on your b&w .. which will not be as glowing as this one unfortunately !!:)

hey steven .. i've come to this image from your portfolio page and not the b&w challenge, so i dont know if you put any explanation with this in there .. its taken me a couple of views to work out wots going on .. and because i really liked it a lot, without knowing wot it was, is why i perservered ...
i'm assuming you're standing above a body of water and the 'stuff' at the top of the image is the 'pylon' or wotever holding up wotever you're standing on?? .. and i could be completely wrong ..
wot i love about this is the amazing textures in the water and that incredible feeling of movement .. which is pretty hard to achieve when you catch a moving object in a still picture .. like no blur or anything to suggest the movement, is wot i'm trying to say .. love the droplets so white and looking like they're jumping/dancing around that pole/pylon ..
& thankyou, i did get some sleep last night ... and you can see it greatly improved my ability to speak without sounding like a raving lunatic!!!!
