Personally, no. I'm distracted by too many details, the flower center, the petals, the black background and the differing shades of the leaves and the branches.
One of the challenges in crafting abstracts and minimalist images is knowing what to leave in.
J, your image "Big Bang" (attached below) is a strong example of including just enough detail to support the narrative and nothing more.
In the case of this experiment the detail does not meaningfully add to the concept.
A good technique to practice in crafting an image, any image, especially a minimalist one, is to ask yourself what else can you take out. Remember that photography, unlike painting, is a subtractive art form.
Thanks for sharing J and I look forward to seeing more of your experiments.
Hi J Sclafani. All others have reflected very well.
Todays photography in my opinion is equally what one clicks and what one does with it.
Was visiting my old archives of 6-8 years old images of crop sensor and extremely modest kit lenses. Took challenge to make sense out all those. Sharing two images of one option.
These populist images are no way any art frames but just self learning of techniques to improve.

I agree with you on all counts.
Agree with the others. This would be.
Thanks to all for your feedback

Well put, constructive remark. I too was struck by this excellent image of yours, J.
