Day 315: flower tutorial

Do I cause anxiety?
Photographic-consumption-anxiety, at least. 
According to the many "how to photograph flowers" tutorials
I'm criminal. 
No clear flower subject. 
No clear (by blurring) foreground or background. 
Eyes are not herded into the 'appropriate' plot of the shot 
No longer politely manipulated 
they shake and twitch with freedom, 
empowered, free of reigns. free of duty. 
casually strolling through fields of color and vision.
Asking, "why?"; feeling, "wow."

I've decided photography connoisseurs are lazy...
"Give the subject, clear and simple; I can't be bothered."
...and must be taught a lesson. 

Let the short-lived Swedish cherry blossom season open your world. 
You choose the subject. There's no wrong answer.
