I really like this, but I'm a flower buff and love taking flower photographs.  I'm curious for peoples' reactions.  Is it too busy?  Is there enough substance?  Ideally I was looking more for impressions than I was for any form of advice (such as standard C&C / post-processing--it's a finished product, so I won't be changing anything).

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

It’s a nice abstraction.

I'm torn as I like the colors and textures but feel it wants to be tarted up a bit, potentially in either of a couple of different ways. Also at top almost center there is a spot of green in the middle of a delicious wave of yellow that draws my eye so strongly it distracts from the image. It also wants for a bit more DOF. Last, on the point of one way to tart it up a bit is that kind of composition begs to be done as Orton effect.
