I find the colors and contrasts intriguing here. When you get close, you never know what you will find. This little "pineapple" center delights me! And the white petal reaching out to the left flows so delicately. It simply feels good to look at this complex, elegant little mess, to me!

and to me- such lovely cropping and composition.
I know what you mean about that pineapple center, like little fiddle heads posing.
