You are right, one the simplest things in nature, but at the same time very fascinating. I always go around looking spirals like this. The green colors look fantastic, and I think the photo has a strong visual compact, and I like the way the light is falling on the spiral.

Your focus is sharp showing clear and well defined details, and the exposure is very good.

I like the format you have cropped the photo into, and also the placement of the spiral within the frame. A truly lovely and well taken photo with a very good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

A very fine shot. Those tendrils look like they will be grabbing onto something any minute. A well composed shot with very nice colors. Best of luck in the contest.

This is an intriguing capture. The tendril is excellently focused. The photo is well exposed and has good depth. I enjoy the realism of color and the refinement of detail. The shallow background emphasizes the tendril nicely. The square format is perfect. The tendril is well placed into the frame. The composition is balanced.

A beautiful picture of the tendril on the Cucumber Vine curled like s sprig as it feels for something to curl around & there by support the growing vine & fruit / Cucumbers. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.

What a perfect, green spiral!
I like the contrast created between the clear focus of the spiral, and the slightly out of focus background. It makes the spiral pop right out of the image! The shades of vibrant green, the texture of the leaves, and the perfect curl of the spiral
add interest and charm to this simple image. Great job!

A very good entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and almost central composition offers us an enjoyable view of those beautiful curls. Like the delicacy and colour of them. Well done and good luck!
