Is it just me, or does that flower appear to shrink
as you look at it?

Oh, well, it is actually a very small flower, but there is nothing tricky in how it was photographed or edited.

Yeah, it's like one of those optical illusion pictures that
appear to shrink or grow or rotate as you stare at them.
Very nice pic btw.
