Well, yes, Saad. You really caught some of my main ways of view and formulated them with simple understandable words. It is to me, how to enhance the subject's own character, to make it visible, noticeable and vivid, even if it would rather remain unnoticeable most of the time.
In some way I think that this is "honoring" the subject for its own substance. And substance seems to be always connected to the "idealisation" of what we consider to be the most striking important property of an otherwise mixed up appearence.
So, the "circle"... what is that? It is the model of a hypothetical zero width curve of constant distance to some hypothetical point that has zero dimensions. Such things do not exist in nature but they exist within my mind, and that's enough existence for me. Actually even stronger existence than in "nature", though I know that many will cry aloud against that. But perception is never in "nature". It is in our minds, and this is why I would rather try to transform perception to a real existing image, which as you say is more intense. Why is it more intense? It is more intense because it concentrates on the few idealising elements of the model, not of the "flower".
Any given flower will have that capability to induce idealizing concepts in our minds. I would rather go for enhancing these concepts on the image, and that's also the reason for my attachment.
Cheers!
Nick

thank you dear Nick as always,Twice,
you Nick these types of shots that do not have specific subject ,and depends on its appealing on their tones and the unusual composition,could accept many different shapes and types of editing,I can see yours is very close to mine,but lighter,it really produce the same effect,but if you go more intense ,in both directions,it could make a very noticeable change,
thanks again,
cheers,
Saad.

A good way to limit the DoF for getting only one contours of interesting strong but leave anything else soft, Saad. If there was a greater contrast of the contours against the inner part of the flower it would be better, I guess. Only the lower left quarter of the "circle" is a bit disturbing as it seems to not really follow the concept. Still a good idea that could evolve to something very special.
What about the attachment?
Cheers!
Nick

Nice POV of this lovely shape. The edges almost look like a parchment paper. The image is nice in the b/w tones.
Be well, Stan
