I swing between liking it and not.

Paco, me too :)
I am swinging between I like it and I like it a lot :)

Is there more in the blurry bubbles? I'd try to develop towards showing some details and delicate structures there.
That'll make the blossoms a pure detail bycatch enhacing the overall impression, but who cares.
Like but not convinced (yet).

Doesn't work for me. The flower or whatever the main subject is too overpowered by the negative space elements. Also, see little justification for the massive overexposure.

Move in closer to get the main subject better defined and/or make it shadow itself into all the blur circles could work, though.

Thank you all for your input.
  There is no more info in the bubbles. They are overblown and very far away from the main plant in focus.
  The image being unbalanced is my main concern.I do like the undefined circles with all those cold colors against the gloden blown-out. That´s why I keep coming to it.

    I actually tried getting closer -or more balanced at least- and also a shadow -not into the circles- Just to show the different approach:

Agree with the focal point being overpowered.

I was bothered by the first shot until I started seeing letters and numbers in the oof background... Suddendly it became interesting as it seemed to give a meaning to the messy infinity!

Thanks Tristin for taking the time to comment. Sometimes is not easy to see flaws in my own images.

  Interesting. You just made me spend some time looking for hidden meaning in the blur :) I enjoyed it a lot.

   Thanks Olivier
