cool how they seem to be rising up. sorta alien-ish.
light is a bit harsh on the left, but I like the contrast of it with the shadows.

awesome textures and contrasts of textures - great urban feel.
love the chaotic feel of the angle. the fern struggling to hold onto life in the crevice of the city.
speaks alot.

Orchid Stem Study

lovely. although I feel upside down. maybe that is good because it is "out of the box". perhaps flipped horizontal to make the diagonal work toward the right rather than the left would make me feel better.
the details of the soft texture of the petals, and the muted colors all work together with the canopy feel, however. makes me feel I am seeing a private side to nature, under it's umbrella of protection.
nice work all around!
