love the texture and colours - very nicely done JAS

Thanks, Ed!

Agreed. Wonderful colours on black and the texture is great! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks, Iggy!

I gotta say I really like this. Interesting lighting, subject matter, comp - very intriguing! :highfive:

Thanks, Marko! I was feeling a little depressed yesterday and went to the flower shop for some "pretty" flowers to photograph. The florist convinced me these were a good idea! And they are quite unique!

Cool image. In all aspects. Light, composition, colour, focus ... just a very cool image.

Nice colours. The contrast of the blue makes it really stand out.

The dramatic lighting really suits them since they're such complex and surprising plants. Tasty, too.
