Pinwheel

 Nikon D700, 60mm macro lens with +4 Hoya closeup filter


I was drawn to the shape of this flower, it reminds me of a pinwheel, and to the overlapping petals.  Originally I pictured a black and white conversion, but then decided I also like the color, especially the touches of yellow. I added a couple of textures, (one a linen texture) and both I converted to black and white before layering so the color would not affect the background.
