Raj, I think, to me it works better than the perfectly focussed flower where we see the flower but here we see mix of colors which is more stimulating and fresh. What makes it interesting is the psychological significance of the combination - the muted yellow and blue/indigo combination is very pleasing.

Very interesting image Raj.. Blended colors works very well here.

It does work Raj, than the normal ones. You may want to remove some sensor dust ?

Looks lovely! The colors are very pleasing as Ganesh pointed out! The tight crop works for a blur but if it were a well focused image, I am sure I would be saying otherwise. Funny how the brain works

Thanks Ganesh, Ravi, Dinesh and Sriharsha.
@ Dinesh Yes on the dust spot. Will do that.
I have been reading there is a certain amount of hard wiring in the brain which allows it to quickly perceive objects with minimal information. If I cut this in half I find there are other explanations the brain can give.

Hi Raj,
Refreshingly different tones here. A welcome break from nature's usual tones.
Thanks for sharing
