You've done a great job presenting this using a series of triangles. A difficult subject and a challenge for me personally.

This does show off the colors and shapes nicely. It's a fine abstract view. The close timing with your previous post creates a dilemma for me. I'm strongly inclined to compare the two and because I know what the flower is, I like the previous image better. When I try to ignore the previous post, I find that this is a lovely abstract with great flowing lines and colors.

The flower looks almost liquid. I like both this and your previous view, for different reasons. This is more of an abstract presentation, an almost Daliesque series of angles and bulges. The other is a formal portrait. Both are excellent.

Excellent close-up of your BOP, Bill. The flowing orange is sublime.

What a fantastic comp on this, Bill! It's an unusual and eye-catching way to show off this flower. I'd give 3 thumbs, but I only have 2. Way up.

I think of your three lovely BoP posts, Bill, I like this the best ( though the previous one comes a very close second ).. It's the tightness of the composition, the sensuous immediacy I go for here - absolutely beautiful !! The third post I find maybe just a touch dark - in the first I like the free flow of the lines of the flower against the verticals of the grey ` curtain ' in the bg.
