close up, a picture within a picture?

this is a zoom of 

\/ that guy, down there!\/

OK students. The idea is to look at pieces of this flower, and let a PIECE of it fill the paper. Look at the shapes, shadows, and how it is composed as you crop it. You dont have to crop where i cropped, but only what i have cropped or less. I am working on a pencil study, so we will see if i can translate what i am asking for. I am going to post some of last weeks paintings.

I need pictures of the rest of you gals...but these look pretty good! Nice job ladies.
