 I thought this was a good image when i took it, but I was wrong. Perfect candidate to play with! I was surprised how the middle of the flower not only seemed to glow, but the "light" fell on the petals to further the illusion. It reminds me of something from the sea floor, like an anemone. Who knows.

I like how this makes me concentrate on the shapes and textures rather than the fact that it's just a flower.

I like the way the center of the flower appears to glow.

Sorry but the lack of focus drags this image way down for me.

like the way the center of the flower seems to glow as a negative. focus seems a bit off.
