I thought those were two zodiac sculptures in the first photo - Sagittarius and Capricorn.

This then would be Leo - you were assuming correctly. :o)

This is awesome. Do you still have to pay to use a public restroom in Germland?

The picture is nice, but you are right, there is something that doesn't feel "right" about it. Perhaps it would be more pleasing if the blooms were at an angle through the image. It is almost as if there is too much room to the right.

Very zen. I love the minimalism.

P.S. Is that a Japanese tourist?

Hmmmmm. I get your meaning on the composition -- it does strike me as a bit awkward. Not quite sure why. These things do grow down... Maybe if there was a little more background to the left of the flowers. Or maybe you could have angled the flowers to come at a diagonal out of the corner???? But that's not how they grow, is it.

I just did a quick scroll down so that I just had the bottom flower in the picture, and I think I like that composition better, but then I really don't like portrait orientation very much under any circumstances.

I guess I go with giving it a more space on the left hand side.

Aside from that I love the tones and texture and that bokeh is perfect. I like the b&w better than the color version FWIW.

It makes one wonder about the American education system if someone like Art doesn't know that Neptune is the Roman name for Poseidon.. Tchh. ;-Þ
