Design, design

Spotted this bud the other day, and was amazed at the intricacy of the individual petals and how they are spiraled around so tightly.

Also played with this a little and faded it out some so the color wasn't as intense...

So amzingly detailed. I never look at flowers the same after learning so much from you.

I love the wound-up petals, ready to spring! Great eye! I'm not sure (you know me about enhancements) which one I like, but probably the first, natural one. ML

How neat! I've never seen a close up of a bud like that one. That's so cool how the petals are all twisted up tight! Beautiful colors, too :)
