Love the vertical Bill. I also like the way you spread the Yucca over the whole frame. Well done.

Love the comp Bill! The radiating yucca with the surrounding blooms makes my mind spin. Super idea to shoot it this way.

Neat. This nearly bursts out of its frame. Sort of abstract, and I like it.

Nicely done, Bill. I like the contrast between the yucca and flowers. I've had to dig a few yucca thorns out of me in the past, so I don't like to get too close.

Don't mind at all Bill. This is a beautiful scene. I really like the star burst yucca and slash of lavender throughout.

I like this image a lot more than your others. You have done a better job with saturation and contrast, and the subject is interesting and well composed.

Love the colors, and I like how the purple flowers make a perfect frame. Nice lighting too. Very well done.
