Congratulations on this deserved win. As a biologist I am also curious what is actually shown on this beautiful and very sharp flower macro. It seems that the male parts of the flower are leaning in on the female part of the flower. That the middle of the flower is not just symmetric makes it more interesting. Great picture. #9103156
