Hi!
Here is a photo I took tonight, because it was too rainy to go out and take any sunset pics (and I couldn't get free in time to take any forest pics). It's of the bud of a tidy-tips wildflower, Layia platyglossa, family Asteraceae. Hope you all don't think it's too over-done. C&C appreciated!

I think it is a nice image, does not look overdone to me; lighting is very interesting.

Very luminous… I like it!

Good colors and detail, and I like to see radial symmetry in a square frame. I don't think it's overdone at all. In the larger version, some background elements are very faintly visible, and I wonder if it would be better as entirely black with no detail. I also wonder about the amount of empty black space. I tried a version with the edges much closer to the plant, and I personally liked the more fully filled frame.
