hi chas - niceidea but i don't think it works - you need more focus on the blade of grass to give it some context. i think like this it is too abstract. but maybe that's what you were trying for? hope this helps.

Thanks for your comment mark - I have re-loaded the image in the original post with increased focus on the grass. Apologies to those of you who now won't see the image mark commented on - but take it from me - after his comment, the revised one is better!

I like the abstract feel to it. It looks like either Geranium versicolor or Geranium x oxonianum to me. :toast: :toast:

Very artistic, the composition feels a bit akward to me but it is a brilliant idea.
