Little Hearts
These little hearts are actually the stamens of a hibiscus flower. I wanted to show the inner world of a flower in an abstract manner during which i bumped into this composition and subject. Cropped for composition.
Sharpness & DOF suffered a bit because of the shot being handheld - will definitely try to improvise on it in future.
Comments and Suggestions are most welcome.

Beautiful little hearts there Shiv ! I love the kind of abstract feel generated due to increased brightness (I presume) which makes the image unique for me. If this were mine I would probably have included a little more plain colors (bg) and balance the composition more by trying to do some more compositional adjustments. Lovely image there !

I just love this just as it is, not looking for perfection all the time. This is one of the best shots I have seen in the forum.

I really liked the portrayal of the little hearts here, I feel being not too sharp retains the feel here. Overall I would love to see a 1/3rd less of exposure. Next time I pass a hibiscus I will look closer.

A very nice image Shiv... as you have mentioned if the other heart was also sharp then this would have been a real winner! Liked the perspective... Nicely executed.
