center of a flower, i'm guessing... a little better focus (maybe a touch more dof) and this would have been a nice shot...

Flower stamin(spelling)? Love it inverted, looks like a little elf's feet! 9

Flower pistils (or whatever they're called)? Like the inside of a lily maybe? It does look like a ballet, an underwater ballet. IMHO, the border is too heavy for such a lightly dancing image, it sort of overpowers the sense of movement. ~6

Neat. It's the things in a flower.

It reminds me of a doll or something similar sitting on a shelf with the legs hanging off, even has a little ankle bracelet lol. I guess it is really the middle things of a flower (upside down?), I forget what they are called. I love the hues of yellow you have, the entire image could be classified as yellow but it is still very pleasant to look at. Good job.

Not sure why you felt you had to hang an elf to get this shot. I mean there are plenty of other things to shoot in the world. Well in any case, it has great lighting and composition. Love the angle and DOF. May God have mercy on your soul for doing this, R.I.P. Tom Thumb, we love you Elmer!! 8

Stamens of a flower

Okay it looks like 2 feet dangling, but it also looks like the center of a flower introverted.

nice title to what I'm guessing is the business pieces of a flower. would have been nicer to get the focal plane lined up with the entire stamen.

It looks like the inside of a flower, that is upside down?

Wait, I think I want to change my mind...are they seeds from inside a melon or squash?

They really look like legs and feet! Also looks like stamens in a flower. Very cool composition.
