Beautifully done. I like the black background very much, limits the distraction from the subject. I will bet this is very pretty in color. I am not certain that the leaf in the foreground is a good thing, picky, picky. Photo 9 Creativity 8 B&W 9 total 9
Great lighting and shadows on this. I gave it a 9. The larger pedal in the front was a little bit distracting, and the only thing IMO that kept this from being a perfect photograph.
You might have isolated the spiky bits to greater effect. Big leaf is oof, and others at bottom don't add much. Nice tones, though slightly dark in the shadows.
Interesting that you brought the spikes into the title but it's the big leaf that takes my attention. I wish I could see this from the bottom up angle, so it looks like it's 3 feet tall. I do like the clarity and how you cropped it. Good job.
I really like the way you can see the texture of the petal, and the way the shadows are used. parts of it seem out of focus, but it doesn't take away from the picture.
