Two lovely ladies sharing a moment. Beautifully captured.

The Weed Monster

Comment:
Definitely a monster. Thankfully, one that is more easily controlled than the bull nettles we get out here. :-)

A new voice for the site...welcome! The use of the foliage to frame your subject here is an interesting choice. I hope you share more of your work with us soon.

This one definitely makes me smile.

Friendly Field

This one seems underrated to me, especially for this challenge theme. The layering of foliage here is lush and texturally rich--and it captures the "flora spirit" with a horticultural eye for detail, even in "nuisance" plants. I do wonder if there's some confusion over the fact that grass leaves are absolutely foliage, even if we tend to think about tree leaves when the term arises...

This was another challenge favorite for me. Apart from the technical precision (one of the best in the lot, IMHO) I find this presentation both richly contemplative and warmly inviting.

Bold and rich. This was a challenge favorite for me.

One of my challenge favorites. So glad to have your visual voice in this challenge. I looked into the app you mentioned in your notes and, if it weren't exclusively developed for iOS, I'd definitely be adding that one to my toolbox. Great find!

This was in my top three, Mariuca. Gorgeous, artful work here. Every time I opened it I found new textural interest and just absolutely luxuriate in those rich color tones. Images like this (and Margaret's in this same challenge) ALMOST make me want to be an iOS user...almost. :-P
