Interesting meeting of two strangers. Nicely seen and captured.

Reminds me of a kinetic sculpture Charles. I like that. Perfect DOF for my tastes and I like the critters on the bright white and yellow bloom. Very fine work for my tastes.

That's interesting, Pat, and thanks. I never saw it as a kinetic sculpture, but there definitely are analogs. My first impulse was to imagine it as a shaman performing some ritual, or maybe a Kachina doll, and that persisted through the editing process but it wasn't dominant at the end. The title came from what looks to me, rather vaguely admitedly, like an out of focus hand (thumb and forefinger) on the right side reaching from behind to pick the flower.
