Directing the Viewer

The thing I find interesting to do is t subconciously direct the viewer through the image.

By removing the color from the background (in Lightroom 3) and using the shallowest depth of field (f/1.4) the viewer has no choice, subconciously, but to look at the beauty of the flower. The image may look noisy, but that was intential grain added to enhance my pleasure of the image.
