Nice blend of colors, tones and shapes with just enough in focus to hold the viewer's interest. Well done.

Very nice floral abstract. The only nit I have is it would have been nice if the piece of the flower would not have been cut off on the left. I really like the colors.

I like the beautiful colors and the overall abstract look. Like Richard, I think you should have tried not cutting off the stamen (?) on the left.

Srini: If this is a day lily or asiatic lily you might not have been able to include the entire exiting element without having to really widen your field of view. My only suggestion would be to lighten the darker areas some. I'm used to Ram's similar work and find the abstracts work best with low contrast images. Keep after it.>=))>

Shrinivas, this is much more than an attempt. The bokeh is beautiful.
Take care.

Very strong attempt, Srini. I agree with Bill's comment about subdued contrast for Abstracts and that is one reason why I try for uniform lighting using diffusers and reflectors. This frame has real good appeal - love those tentatcles spreading all across the colorful frame
