Very unique take on the song. For all we know, this is exactly what a cat sees. Love it.

To me the blurring doesn't really convey the effect you were going for...

Interesting zoom effect, but I don't see the connection to the title or to the challenge.

Hi from the Critique Club!

When I first opened up this image I felt a wave of calmness flow through my body (not an easy task at the best of times)

I love the dramatic, solid black background. It's perfect for showing off the wonderful colours and simplicity of the single flower.

The lighting has perfectly captured the translucent quality of the flower. and I love those highlights down the left-hand side.

There's an incredibly gorgeous movement of colour down the flower; the purple gives way to the violet, which gives way to the pink. And the greens morph gently and seamlessly into darker shades until it looks like the stem will fade back into that solid black at the bottom of the image.

I love the huge negative space, it emphasizes the beauty of the flower even more.

The focus has allowed those lovely details to appear.

A beautiful, simple image!
