 Found these two fighting for potted ficus sumpremacy.

Carried the bunch inside and set them near the window with a black cloth behind the set up.

Then really tweaked the whites, blacks, contrast and saturation.

Suprised it turned out like this, but I like it.

I've said this on a few other images, and again, I can't believe this didn't do better in this challenge. Interesting, well composed, sharp... anyway... heres a MUAIMHO as a small offering of compensation for the voting masses not recognising a wonderful photo.

Wow, such contrast! Makes me wonder how you achieved this with natural light? Good stuff.

Do you have thes bugs INDOORS

I can only take it for granted that this was shot in natural light indoors as there are no visual clues telling me otherwise. One thing I might suggest to change about this is to zoom in closer or crop it square and get the most size out of the image to enjoy all the detail that is in the thistles and the bugs. It's not really rule of thirds or centered as far as a composition is concerned.

What an odd mixture!!! What is the top bug and WHAT is that plant??? I like the lighting but the background is too flat sold
