I don't think you had to rush the shot. It looks like the cocoon of a pupating insect (moth or butterfly). It'll be there for a while.

It's an interesting contrast: soft colors of a fresh flower with a cocoon woven from dead plant material but containing new life. From a photographic perspective, I think you could lose the empty space on the left and bottom. A closer crop would give more detail.

I wish we could have seen the caterpillar constructing this. It's quite a feat of engineering for a bug.

I kind of like the use of the empty space. Good shot. I might PP it a little differently.

"Please use the comments to demonstrate your own ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical data, ability to repeat discredited memes, and lack of respect for scientific knowledge. Also, be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor even implied. Any irrelevancies you can mention will also be appreciated. Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous." My Zen
