Nicely seen. Love the lines in this one. I've tried to get something like this with our skunk cabbage but have never gotten anything close to this. I would have removed the little white dots.

I agree, it is a wonderful presentation. I love the way you've handled the light.

Jeff, your image has great impact on me. The composition with the diverse diagonals and curves is very dynamic and well balanced to my eye. I also appreciate the wonderful tonality, natural colors and perfect depth of field. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely flowing lines here. I'd suggest moving the main stem a bit more off-center, to add interest, but nice as is.
Great entry!

Wow! This is just stunning! The analogous color scheme is incredibly appealing and the repetition of line and form makes it even more attractive. The tiny, bright, v-shaped wedge at the top is a bit distracting, I might consider cropping that out. Other than that, don't change a thing. I love it!

Totally outstanding, Jeff! A fabulous 3-D macro with spectacular color and great lighting and the way this was photographed from above.
Super. :toast:
