9. I love this composition. i can see all manner of different things in the fronds about to unroll, it's almost like looking at clouds. The exposure and contrast are just right. I might darken the bright parts in the upper left of the background to better isolate the main subject.

Very nicely focused and lit, Toya - a plant I love seeing on my visits to New Zealand. I also like the shadowy fern in the bg and the gradient colour there.

Toya:
We have lots of these in tropical HK. The curl is a little like the base cleft. The image may benefit from another round of sharpening.
