most of the time it really bothers me when the white background seems to almost engulf the subject. Almost like it's bleeding into the subject. But here, i think it works. It makes it dreamy. the focus and clarity are really great. I love the veins in the leaves, and the little hairs on the stems. the color is wonderful. Great shot. ~Heather~
Lovely subject. Not too sure about the composition. I'd like to see the tip of at least one. The reflection is a nice idea! Pretty. I love the pattern.
I wasn\'t quite sure how to comment on this photo. As a whole, I really like the looks of it. It seems more abstract to me by focusing on the stem or branch (by the way, I like how it shows the detail of it). It made for a very interesting effect. At first, I didn\'t like how the plant was cut off, but now I don\'t think it would have the same meaning if did show the whole thing. Good luck in the challenge. I'm interested in seeing what others say.
nice element of softness in this photo... the composition is strong as well... the lines and intersections of those lines works very well... great shot :) - setzler
