Scary cool image - I gave this a 9 but didn't have a chance to comment during voting. I really think what sets this one apart for me is the recurring yet differing shapes - the stars from the pines and the brown leaf as the main subject with the other green one in the background. The warmth of the colors is another selling point. I do think that the reddish brown section in the upper left tends to pull my eye away a bit, but I like the shapes so much!
Karen i loved this pic and I wish it had finished higher. There's such a magical quality to it, with the green sparkles in the background. It's beautiful!
I hope you dont get bored of me saying this but this is another truly magnificent photo. I have to be honest and say generally I found the flora challenge a bit wearying to mark. There were so many great macro shots of flowers but these almost became overpowering and left the viewer feeling a bit blase and non plussed. This however was a fantastic exception. The focus and dof you have used created an image which was both interesting in terms of the main subject and in which the natural background of stars created a real visual treat
What cute little plants, this might even be better without the big brown plant and just have the one green plant in focus or to have just the brown plant in focus,
Well seen and captured, I love the one green star so strongly in focus in the upper right as a balance to the generally downward flow provided by the soft focus stars; the papery appearance of the white leaves is great.
