Nice framing again, but I prefer the earlier version. I note the decoration here - lit up at night for Chrsitmas?

Doesn't have the full moon vibe of the earler one but now the plant's toughness seems much heightened with the prominent spikes and irregularly shaped leaves.

A reminder of the nice bokeh from the GR; was the iii noticeably better?

Giving the new development the prickly finger!

It hasn't stuck in my mind that you have one of these either ... but this seems a very suitable application of it; such an intriguing pattern to ponder.

This one definitely adds another dimension to it, taking the wide angle macro look to the extreme.

Very effective tunnel vision.

Oh, I wasn't aware that you got one of these, now ) That's a very nice shot - always hard to visualise the shot before taking it, but symmetries are usually a good starting point. And for this twist having an interesting pattern underneath works well - as demonstrated here.

Utterly fantastic! Impreccable timing, great exposure and contrast

looks like you managed the poor light nicely. great pov and symmetry. texture and detail are a joy to view.
