Just after a storm I was over my friends house, these Dill weed plants were soaked and looked just beautiful. The original colors were green and yellow, but after a few changes I turned it into what I thought was a beautiful flower shot. Hope everyone gets the Rhythm that my wife and I saw in this shot. To me it seemed like either a beat or a pattern of rhythm. From the inside out, my eye kind of went from the inside out back and forth. So hope everyone sees the same thing. Any suggestions would help.

Thanks everyone for all the great comments and votes. It was really an honor to be compared to Ursula, who I just recently have gone through her profile and seen all her amazing work. Glad most really liked the shot, and thanks again for my new PB.

Very nice dude, congrats on the new personal best. Don´t think it´s long before you ribbon if you just keep at it and do things your way, don´t wonder what other people like :)
Fantastic - great framing and "burst" directionality, great catchlights in the drops, nicely saturated colors. A 10 from me, I personally see nothing to improve.
I'm sensing a more upbeat tempo with this rhythm...fantastic macro! The color combo is outstanding and the circle bokeh are like little dancing faeries.
Too defined to be an abstract, not enough definition to really hook me on the patterns being presented here. Overall I like this, but its just not as powerful as I think it could be.
