Reminds me of iron being forged

I usually classify flowers very scientifically: "a blue one", "a pink one", "a yellow one with five petals", etc. so that would just be an orange one.

Also not sure about this shot.

I think it's good. It's a reminder that there’s considerable beauty in how parts of an image can drift back into gentle blurs. Expectations are being rewritten by focus stacking, but abstracts can be compelling.

This one invokes glowing hot metal for me, like something being forged: the organic meeting the inorganic.

All comments welcome

The term "mirrorless" is totally obsolete. It's time we call out EVIL for what it is. (Or, if you can't handle "Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens" then Frenchify it and call it "LIVE" for "Lens Interchangeable, Viewfinder Electronic" or "Viseur électronique").

I see what you mean. There's not a natural draw to a particular part of the image. Perhaps a different crop or different framing of that scene is more alluring? That said, the tone is inviting and the softness towards the OOF area is terrific.

Cheers
