The stamen/pistel thingys of a lily. Taken with a reversed 50 on an 18-55 kit lens. Cropped, turned upside down. Adjusted brightness and contrast a bit, but not alot.

Flower pistils (or whatever they're called)? Like the inside of a lily maybe? It does look like a ballet, an underwater ballet. IMHO, the border is too heavy for such a lightly dancing image, it sort of overpowers the sense of movement. ~6
It reminds me of a doll or something similar sitting on a shelf with the legs hanging off, even has a little ankle bracelet lol. I guess it is really the middle things of a flower (upside down?), I forget what they are called. I love the hues of yellow you have, the entire image could be classified as yellow but it is still very pleasant to look at. Good job.
Not sure why you felt you had to hang an elf to get this shot. I mean there are plenty of other things to shoot in the world. Well in any case, it has great lighting and composition. Love the angle and DOF. May God have mercy on your soul for doing this, R.I.P. Tom Thumb, we love you Elmer!! 8
