Description
This photograph should probably be called 'hiddenception', in that there is something hiding within something hiding. I'll leave it up to you to see if you can find it.
I had a lot of difficulty with this one in terms of what to do with it during post-processing. I had about six different versions, and then after deciding on the one piece, I kept rotating it.
I'm content with how this has turned out, though. Let me know your thoughts.

YES! Go bug!
Thank you so much! I loved the minty green myself.
Thank you for your comments! You should upload some of your works!

It's definitely a lovely colour!
You're most welcome! I'm sorry it's taking me so long to comment on stuff.

No worries at all! Your reasons are totally understandable.
It does feel that way at times with literature...a huge jigsaw puzzle, I mean.

aw man the colours in thi are incredible! the little sandfly? (maybe he is hard to see) Β is so well camoflouged too!

Thank you!
Who knows what the bug is there.
Indeed!
π: 0 β©: 1
it could be a sandfly or a very small weevil. Β i'm only going off bugs from my part of the world though, so it could be something completely different

I think it's more a sandfly than a weevil, but who knows!

indeed, it could be a dragonfly for all we know with that camoflague

Nah.. a dragonfly is usually a bit bigger, no?

Yea I suppose. Β But it could've been caught in a shrink repay right?

you can never count out the crazy things, because they might end up being true ^^

That's a fair point! Some unbelievable things do happen.

and more often than we know right?

I see a tiny black bug near the center, it was one of the first things I noticed so I almost started thinking maybe it wasn't what you were talking about. But I don't see anything else worth mentioning besides leaves and stems.

Really? That's pretty cool.
Not at all!

I get a lot of shots with random little guests in them so I tend to notice it when looking at pictures. Haha
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, that's really quite awesome!
I suppose it's luck a lot of the time.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup, it's pretty cool luck too.

I'd say so! Perhaps it's a sign.

Is that little black speck a bug?
...
*sigh* I wonder what it would be like to live on that scale...
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes it is!
Indeed! The world must be huge and horrifying.

Or absolutely amazing!!!

That works too, I suppose!

I honestly believe that its a picture which portrayed colors really well in this work. I didn't get - and wasn't able to find the hiddenception point in this work 
With that said, I really like the way you've brought the focus to the center of this photograph. Colors work really well in it, as well as the brightness and contrast provided by each and every part of this photograph is concentric in their subject matter. Its a really good job you've done.
I actually bothered looking at the photograph after downloading it, and I'll admit, that I couldn't find anything which would merit me understanding the hiddenception... I did guess that it would be a plant of sort... or a flower... but that's not what it was trying to convey.
I liked it. Featured on

Thank you very much! I did adjust the colour a bit, so it's not exactly truthful, but I do like the colours myself.
It was a good day to shoot, that's for sure! I remember it was very sunny, and luckily with this piece, there was enough shade so there is no overexposure.
Thank you very much!
The hiddenception was the bug sitting on the plant.

You can't say this is a bad hideout for that little bug
Nice shot.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's true enough!
Must be a huge world for a bug that size.
π: 0 β©: 1
After all, it's hideoutception
Yes indeed. It must be like what for us is a galaxy
π: 0 β©: 1
That's true enough.
True! It does depend on perspective in that sense.

Horray for famous puns
And we are like giant monsters for them :T

That's true. We are quite giant.. it'd be nice to be small.

In more ways than one.

Something hiding within something hiding.Β Β
The first thing I noticed is that little black thing, then when I finished reading the description, I tried to find what is hiding.
And after all It was in front of me hahaha.

Ah, not many people saw it! I didn't either at first, I have to say.
Thank you for the comment!

Its interesting how the blurred forms direct the eye towards the center with the bird feather thing, which then redirects the eye back outward (or towards the thing hidden amongst the hidden thing [which is placed quite well along a thirds line 
Nicely done yo

I do like how the blurred forms direct the eye towards the centre. It's quite cool when it's naturally framed in that way.
Thank you very much!
