I found this flower while I was walking the street with my dog. The fascinating structure of this Abutilon reminded me of a Chinese lantern and I knew I wanted to photograph it from the centre to show its perfect symmetry. To get this result, I used three exposures focusing on different parts of the flower: the pistils with the pollen, the petals and the inner part near the base.
