I decided to join this site after seeing this picture. The texture of the leaves looks so real, the plant appears 3D!

So, are you using a 24/7 or a 16/8 light cycle? Do you have alternating nodes yet? Have you been able to determine the sex yet? Give me a call when its time to harvest!!

i have to go to a special nursery to find this plant.

This is tremendous Aleks - if it hadn't been for that border I'd have been completely convinced this was JJBeguin's work. Wonderfully done.

Yes, it's a plant - but really, this was very underrated. I've not seen such subtle lighting and processing in a long while.

This really pops out of the shot. Some may dislike the center composition but it's almost symmetrical to work. I really like it.

This looks suspiciously like marijuana, nice dark shot though, I like the contrast between the green and the background 8

This took my breath away! An absolutely wonderful piece of art and a deserved blue for me. The treatment is simply an embellishment of an already supreme photo, so hats off to you for some masterful work. Powerful use of centering too. A stunning [10]

Beautiful subtle light. The centered subject, which I usually think of as a 'no', is a 'yes' in this image. I love the detail of the and the moody light.

Great lighting and colours hope they don't DQ you.

This is incredible. I love it! Amazing lighting effect and the use of a black background adds an awesome aura to this image. Came back to put this to a 10.

Right on! Groovy, far out. Ten, man!

Oh marvellous - we haven't had one of these subdued masterpieces in a while - and this one's special. It has a quality of Escher-like draughtsmanship to it: I don't mean weirdness, obvisouly, but that pure facility he had with technique. One day i'll take grown-up photographs like this.

What beautiful greens, I love the subtle lighting too.

Nice pot plant! But besides that well done photo good colour, like the background and . . .I'm starting to get the munchies . . .10

Yet another one of those shots in this challenge that is realistic beyond belief. Very nice detail accompanied by such understated lighting, very neat effect. Super, super job! (I normally wouldn't care for such a symmetrical compositon, but this works.)
