Striking image
Lovely work Tish..Lin
Flower or fruit - the macro lens and depth of field are a giveaway, I reckon...
I think I want the black things in hte middle sharp... And possibly more of the image overall, so stopping down may be necessary.
Maybe hype up the colours, or play with funny filters?

Lily? Whatever it makes a good abstract.
Looking into a lily I think, stamens pointing downwards. A very clever idea, I like the ambiguity.
John identifies the problem, all three anthers (the black bits) need to be sharp, to hold the 'flames' together. I suspect that they were not in the same plane, a smaller aperture would help here.
I love it when people look for images, beyond the obvious.

Yes, I'd say it was the centre of a flower, but wouldn't have a clue what species! Whatever, Tish, this is a super abstract

I thought part of a flower even from the thumbnail, but given I do a lot of closeup work I suppose it was easy for me to see it straight away - in fact my second thought was what an original title for such a shot! Someone who hasn't photographed flowers may well struggle initially.
But I agree the stamens need to be sharp for full effect. It looks like two are in the same plane so that would be fine if you can't get all three sharp. Often on a n abstract the eye needs something to rest on and where you have these silhouetted parts we do need that. Achieving focus can be tricky as it's critical at these distances and apertures but the result when you get it spot on would be good.
Definitely on the right lines and fine for a first draft.
