Well, judging from this image and the floral close-ups on your website, you should post here more often. I very much like the overall soft look and the three anthers rising from the soft background. I like the selective focus and semi-abstract look. Very artistic. My only minor nit is with the cut off anther stem on the far right. Thanks for sharing this one.
