Hi Tord, really good idea for a shot with a very interesting (if not a somewhat obscure) way of looking at a very common subject: the flower. The rich bright red tones and the gold and yellow colors are really appealling, and I like how the lighter, more yellow tones at the top corners balance with those near the center. I sort of see what you're saying about the way this looks like a forked tunnel, but it is not clear enough what it is we are supposed to be looking at, and I am not sure if that was your intention or not. Really good macro though and great use of a very shallow depth of field to make the central part very focused while the rest is blurred and somewhat ephemeral. Nice light translucent frame to emphasize the abstract nature of the shot. Thanks for sharing!
