Boy, did I have fun with these! Kubota Garden, Seattle, back in May. They were newly unfurled, in great condition and had just been sprinkled in a little rain shower.

Lumix GH3, 100-300 G Vario @ 150, tripod, cpl. f14, 1/2, ISO 200, -1.0 EV.

Thanks for viewing. Comments appreciated.

Great composition, with the eye following the spirals down to who knows where. :toast:

Catherine - Awesome. Great flowing curves, patterns and water drops adding more interest. I also seem to like a composition with a crop from the left to just about take away the edge of the main leaf as well.

Sweet composition, Catherine. I love the curves. You might consider cleaning up the little wet looking spot in the middle left of the frame. It has an odd look that doesn't fit the rest of the composition to my eye.

I think those drops were supposed to fall down that wishing well. :biggrin: I sure do like the spiraling effect of the veins in the main leaf and how well the darker ulc works in support of that sense.
