Agree that the selective focus works well here hinting at ‘hidden secrets’ enclosed by those blurry petals.

Thanks! No flash or reflector, just natural light from above.

Beautiful and mysterious. As if we are are allowed to peek inside.

Fascinating effect with the selective focus and two colours - its almost as if the golden lips are blowing us a kiss from inside the shroud.
