I do like the washed look......the lines are unnecessary though.....all in all a good work.does need some saturation in small areas .perhaps more lavender?
It looks like an alien flower. The hot spot is probably a laser beam probing your end of town. I agree...the lines don't seem to work but could be a measuring device to see if you would fit in their ship. If we don't hear from you we will notify the authorities.
The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people.

Me ? I actually like the lines, it gives it the look of folded paper, like you used this pic for some origami. The only thing I'm a bit unhappy with is that bit of green on the petal to the right, other wise I think this great. Love the softness & the blurred background & the soft green shades overall. A beautiful job !
