Really liking the play of dark and light on the stems. the choice of showing one bloom is great as well. i agree with rod about its placement though.

Nice. Love the Mohican look!

I think Rod's right (he normally is), this doesn't have the impact it should, perhaps muted colours?

Ace!

I've only ever seen one of these in the wild and my shot was pretty ordinary compared to this.

First thought was to ask for colour, but the myriad of stems wove some sort of spell on me. Just the one bloom looks good, although it might have more impact a little closer to the centre. Liking the strong contrast.

Wow....really 3dish. Love the bokeh green.

Really interesting!! I'm glad you took the time to explain how the shot was set up, 'cause I appreciate it a lot more now. So much work!! The movement is appreciable, and I love the bright black and white processing. Nicely done! Nice to see you!

Straightforward, good and bold, rich organic colors. It's a winner! (Isn't the close-focusing feature on this lens pretty nice?)

Nailed the focus across the head, shoulders and upper wings - spectacular macro.
