292/366: Alien or Dandelion Bud? [+1 in a note]

[+1 in a note above]

I adore shallow depth of field images of flower buds. To me, they look like strange, alien eyes or an alien with a round mouth of teeth. The textures and details of a bud are so surprising because they reveal so much more than can usually be seen with the naked eye. I liked this particular bud enough that I created two different crops: this one, and a vertical. If you roll over the upper right corner of this image, you will see the other version. Which do you like better? (That is, if you like either of them! :D)
