I always love the mysterious in photography and you managed to add some mystery to a macro shot. Continue exploring!

I like it very much! Not too fond about the blueish/grayish patch. Not sure what it is/was, but perhaps it could be toned down a bit. It interferes a bit with the high key nature of the shot IMHO.

I like the idea and think the image would benefit from less blur, with a smoother transition.

agree it is a good idea and nice image . However, also agree the blur is perhaps not too much but certainly too sudden. A more gradual application over a greater distance might look more natural and pleasing.
