Visual treat of an unusual subject. Without the information in the description, I might have never figured out what this was. Great use of mixed media tools, gives the plant an almost 3-D like effect.

A very nice image that shows how this plant got its nickname. The square presentation is beautiful and the shades of green would make an Irishman envious. Best of luck in the contest.

A very good looking image posted here into the competition judging by all the greens in it! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of your "pipes". Colours and tones are good. Well created and good luck!

This is indeed a handsome vine. The little blossoms look indeed like clay pipes. Your photo is perfect focused, exposed and treated with mixed media. I enjoy the beauty of color and light. The different shades of green are superb. The Topaz effects and drop shadows emphasize the pipes and the leaves profoundly. The mixed media is excellent composed and framed. The composition is balanced.
