A pod containing a small flower on a red Japanese Maple tree. Kinda' cool, I thought. Just starting to open and looking rather alien.

Had the 20mm extension tube on.

shifted color balance toward magenta, increased saturation and contrast, reduced noise, added border, resized, sharpened.

An interesting choice for meeting the subject challenge - very abstract and different. The image could be a little more dramatic. A little more focus would have helped this image score higher. A good, solid entry into the challenge.

Well done. I love the hairy texture. Would have liked a little more dof to get that right side in focus too. Not too much though because having the bg oof is a good thing. Maybe one stop?
