I love this one. Beautiful fine green agains the blackground. Nice composition. Maybe the bare section in the upper left could have been cloned out.

I like the composition and different textures. Bright green overpowers the muted greens, in my opinion.

I like the bright greens against the dark background balanced by the rocks at the bottom. I do not like the piece of stem on the left with no leaves and feel it would have been a stronger image without that.

I like the colours of the 'plant' but find the background / editing marks slightly distracting. 7

Composition is too centered. Would like a shallower DOF to blur out the rocks a bit. Green is too saturated for my taste. It is a simple setting but does not give me a sense of harmony, balance, serenity. The jaggedness of the fern and its dominance of the frame are what detract from these things for me. 4.
