Nice macro shot, good DOF. I think if you had a subject (such as a spider or bug) on the end of the leaf, this image would be much more interesting. Even as is, it is very cool!

Love the colors and feel of this shot. Good leading line, draws the eye into the plant. Like the tight crop. Good job.

nice angle you almost made this look like a bird .

I find the effect of the lines to be a little spoilt, as the very tip of the leaf in the bottom right looks a little soft and that seems to be the point that the lines draw my eye to.

Whoa! What a bizarre plant. I like the image and it's a good leading line example. Good luck inthe voting.

Picture seems a bit too dark and I don't really care for the magenta hue. Nicely focused and cropped though. Good luck.

I think a tighter crop may have worked better-losing the purple "floor" from the top half of the image.
