I really liked this one and had it ranked pretty high. The colors are great and the fact that only the flower has a twirl and the background does not really makes it pop. The two 3's are certainly outliers here.

Interesting. I can't wait to read the specs on this one. Are you spinning the flower on a drill and using a super fast shutter speed. It's really cool. I think a ribbon.
