Simple, yes, but gorgeous as well, Ian. The cosmos is a beauty, the bg is superb, and the curly leaf on the stem adds a nice artistic touch.

Ian - Wonderful portrait. Love it as presented. The curl in the leaf on the stem adds another nice visual element.

And, simply gorgeous. You certainly have a way with taking the ordinary and making it look extraordinary, Ian! Great job on the whites and the dof is perfect.
