A Datura Bud Opening. The Yellow Bud blooms into a white flower and then once past prime takes over a metallic brownish tone. Most parts of the Datura plant are poisonous.

A lovely abstract - the opening petals make a beautiful pattern.

A grand shot - I like the sense of circular motion the OOF effects are giving

All the best
