i really like the silhouette of the inside part of the flower!

the one problem i see with this photo is that one of the petals is slightly out of focus. i would suggest a larger numbered aperture to increase your depth of field.

Back to comment... Love the back lighting. Brave to go b&w in a flower challenge, competing with so much color. But, it works! Bravo! 8

This is one of the few pix. in the challenge that actually delivers in black and white. The back lit emphasis really works to hold interest....especially concentrating on the edges, overlaps and the xylem and phloem tubes...the choice to NOT concentrate on the pistils and stamen, to take the angle from the opposite side further enhances the subtle nuances you have chosen to concentrate on and I am captivated! Where do you live? Is it summer there already?!!!!

I really like this photo but i think the flower would have stood out more if the photo was in colour.

Looks like a bike wheel on a pebble path with a grass verge.

My poor little brain doesn't work that way. It's easy for me to admire the line & form & color without being able to name it. But I did think of Rapunzel's hair. I am enjoying this series.
