I just love how the lines seems to swirl around the stamen. It's almost psychedelic! A great start for sure :)

This is very abstract, which certainly works for me. A technique you could experiment with that you might like is to take one shot of the flower, then take a second shot but overexpose it and purposely change the focus so the second shot is completely out of focus. Mix the two images in photoshop and you get a really nice glowing shot. Just thought it might look nice with these bright orange subjects,
