Default Biggest attempt to implode

Here is my first attempt to implode with my Lynx. Overall diameter is 1 5/16"
Please critique so that I may get better. Especially with the fanning out of the petals. I can add different perspectives in a bit.

Thanks all. I suppose I am getting used to the torch Larry. Now I just need to get better ventilation in my basement. The fumes are much more evident with the lynx than they were with my premix.

nice flower!
be careful, the sticklers will tell you that's a compression, not implosion (compressions being done on a rod not tube).

If you ever get a chance to take a class with John Kobuki, jump at it. He stresses that they are not implosions but compressions and when you take the class you will find out why. His method give that separtation of the rows.
