Folks,

I know you will kick me for the back ground, but if I were a street artist, I would have painted it so. Thats a spider plant. For a change I have a colorful background and a dull colored subject.

I like it, Balan!  The colors just make him stand out.  If it were my image, I might would crop that pink line (spider plant) out of the bottom left corner, as it seems to pull my eye away from the subject.  That is just my humble opinion.

Balan, I like the image.  Good detail on the subject and I like the diagonals.  And, while the BG is a little busy I like it.

I think the background makes this image, Balan.  As you point out, it's wonderfully artistic, with the mix of sharp leaves and glowing colors.  I agree with Shirley that a slightly tighter crop with the bit of leaf, llc, removed would be a nice improvement.

Yah..always there is a tendency to ignore dull colored subjects.. You made a nice effort to highlight the subject with a colorful bg. I agree with the suggestion of cropping by Mark & Shirley...Thx

This indeed is very artistic Balan. I too really like the colorful BG and it shows the BF off very well. I can see a clone or crop of the bright pink corner on the LL too. Nicely done.
