Paused for this image to admire the texture and clarity, the lovely lighting and color then saw the title and lo and behold the reaching stem and leaf DOES look like a heron! Very nice work and appropriately titled!

I think the crack in the wall enhances the image, but the smudge on the left is distracting.

Simplicity works very well here. Very zen-like and I particularly like the wall texture as a background. Not sure about the thick outer black border tho'.

Nice composition... the cracks in the wall mirror the organic shapes of the plant an leaves.. but I definately would have cloned out (or pre-cleaned off) the mark on the wall to the left of the top leaf.

Nice work..

You know. . .there is something about this. It is so simple, yet so artistic and pretty. It keeps me looking at it. I like how you've framed it to show what it would look like matted and framed on a contemporary wall :) My only nit pick would be to have cloned out the spot on the left near the top leaf. Otherwise. . .I love it!

A very striking contribution to this challenge. Not really much like anything else I've seen so far.
