Wonderful shot. I like the clarity and focus. The lighting is excellent. Maybe a little more cropping but it doesn't really matter. Good luck.

Beautiful and very creative for the green contest. It has really good light and shadow, very good depth, focus is spot on, color bright and real. Good luck in the contest.

Great shot. Nice composition and good focus and exposure. I like how the foreground flower is focused and the rear one is blurred.

Excellent presentation of a very interesting plant. Detail and color are excellent while the shadow and highlights are perfectly realized. Thanks for sharing the information on the plant. Fascinating:)

Like your narrative, very interesting and informative. A great view of the seed pods and nice clean green leaves. Great focus, framed and an even exposure for a good work submission.

Really nice shot. Never know what it was, but I have one of these in my kitchen. Thanks for the info. Composition and color just great. The fore/background perspective just right. Focus perfect. Thanks for sharing.
