very close to keep it abstract
hard to recognize, but that is not the intention of it.

It needs an haircut
I like the “hair” which becomes visible in macro
Waves or is it just a small flower
Careful composition and close-up
Comparison: Picture sharpness (f2.8 / f8.0 / f22) versus lens sharpness (@f8.0)
With macro the DoF is very shallow so I made pictures with various f stops (f2.8 / f8.0 / f22) and a 100% crop at f8.0. All are made with my old nifty-fifty 50mm f1.8 MKI and macro extesion tube and this lens performes best at f8.0.
Why should all be sharp? Use wide aperture once in a while
Focus stacking, everything sharp, f22, … no not for me, I opted for the contrary, the opposite of what the eye sees. f2.8 was just wide enough for me.
Old school macro of a small plant
In my home studio, first I took a small flower from the garden, a black background, the Canon 50mm f1.8 MKI with macro extension tubes. Just looking for the composition.
