Pre-Contest Abstract

Getting in the mood for the contest coming up. Should be fun, as I have always enjoyed abstracts.

Hey Aidan, I like the nice soft look, for me I would like a little less of the BG on the top. Like the point of focus.

[Ed Vatza]

I agree with Mike here. The background seems a bit too dominant. I would look for the same kind of selective focus but with petals (oof of course) surrounding the focal point.

[Julie Kenward]

Aidan, I agree with the others - first thing I thought was "less BG". I wonder, too, if you had been just a hair higher if that front white petal wouldn't have been quite as prominent at the front of the frame.
