Hawaii, Pt. 2

Here is another hibiscus shot in two frames with an intentional misuse of Photomatix for focus stacking purposes. The centered, square crop was a result of, um, lack of inspiration, I think. My shot was centered, full blossom, and the background wasn't interesting, so I went for a swirling focus on the center. I'm not sure it works, so please: let me know.

Works for me Marylynne. Love that swirl pattern. Another excellent shot!

Sometimes it is okay to break the rules of thirds. This is a good example of that, with the swirl leading you into the center.
Nicely done and good detail.

Thanks, guys. I wasn't sure whether I was not seeing other opportunities or just quickly seizing a good composition. Glad you like it.
