 Sometimes you know a shot is the one when you take it. That is this shot. As soon as I snapped the shutter, I knew it would be the one that I would submit. Ironically, I didn't even plan on entering this challenge. I hope it does well.

I think this could have been quite good, but the clarity and vividness are just a 1/2 step down from great.

Good dof into this inviting depth. The greenery leaves a soothing chlorophyll scentlike feel. Bumping up.

Interesting lines. The picture colors could be a little more vibrant, perhaps with some contrast tweeking?

This is an interesting perspective. .. I like the flowers in the corner.

I think the pink and red flowers seem to disrupt the flow of the lines. It might be more dramatic with just the fern leaves

I live in New Jersey and forgot that green was a color. Very interesting subject choice given the tons of tiny lines, rather than long sweeping ones ( other than the stalks, of course).
