That's a great looking plant! Big, fat juicy lips too. Does it give off a rotting meat smell to attract the flies?

Image is good but you've got a bit of noise going on - possibly due to oversharpening. It may be better to pull back a bit and leave the image slightly smaller but crisper. I think these plants have an interesting part at the top (which is cropped off) so I'd love to see this reshot, as the colours and lighting are really good. Did you use a tripod?

Thanks, I'm just starting with photography, and don't have photoshop yet. I just put it on the hood of my red truck.

It is a Nepenthes, a carnivorous plant which I grow. The bugs fall down, and are digested in this modified leaf.

Perhaps a different angle would have shown the roundness of the lip more. I also think that a different background colour would have highlighted the plant more.... a more natural colour perhaps - green or blue.

Interesting pic. Maybe zoom out a little for better focus.

colors don't seem natural.. too much red tint.

I had to do some research to figure out what it was. Definitely different.

The light is a bit bright in some areas. the background doesn't really match with the subject. Very interesting shot though.
