I liked the non-standard approach of this one!

I would really like to have seen more "flower" in this...but it's a different approach

Now, this picture is definitely different! I love the dark brown colors in the wood, and how much the plant itself stands out. Very unique and beautiful!

a little hard to see the flower... tighter crop would have helped, and still got the point across

I think we're too far away from the plant/flower. I am straining to view it and doesn't impact the photo much. It's more of a fence with a plant coming out. Instead it should be a plant coming out of a fence.
