Wonderful soft tones throughout. The front & back lighting works so well on the flower petals.
Unexpected wide perspective from a G9, well done.

Don't know where've been except busy onmy job but somehow missed this one Bruce. I think we all would appreciate some insight about how you did this - too many questions even to ask them. Bottom line, very impressive concerto of tonal values and what - selective colors - can't tell. Carole's question about barrel distortion most intriques me. A new add-on lens or pp? Oh well. Well done by thatever means. -tv

*Very* attractive yellow. Fun picture, playful and stylish at the same time.

Intentional barrel distortion. You are an expert artist Bruce. -COAmature

YB has such an imagination.
I love this too, but for entirely different reasons - composition, perspective and lighting (to name a few). And it's definitely minimal - at least from a visually aesthetic design point of view. Color-wise, I see more subdued than minimal but that's just my eye. Penny Street

This works on so many levels:
The blinds - remind me of Star Trek and warp factor 3(?), time and space being bent.
And the way the plant seems to be coiling around itself.
Then there are the subtle off-white colours and light shining through the petals and between the blades of the blind.
All very pleasing to look at.
