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.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments!

What can I say but agree with everyone.
