Comment by streetpigeon:
There's a sense in this style, soft focus, of the whole process of being born. The final touch of a snippet of sharpness, here in the upper parts of late flowers, is once born. It could go the opposite way, but I saw it as birth. The mood is of a tender intimacy, shyness. The colors and composition are wonderful. "Creekside" but, seems like a gauzy curtain in the background. The wispy filaments can even be seen as strands of dna. Let's get back down on earth. A tour de force.
Personal favorite of the challenge.

(only 9 from me? needed to be a 10)
