Looks a little like a cannabis patch. Funny no one mentioned that.

This is a beautiful shot--you should have done better. I do think it would have been good to watch out for the end of the makeup and her hair showing at the top.

the leaves dont seem to be the same 'quality' as the face. For the face i would give a 10, the leaves just dont seem right. 8

great photo but she is the focus not the plant

Beautiful connection between humanity and botany. And the way her eyes match the leaves is awesome.

Excellent image. Original/Creative.
Good job by the model as well. Her expression and the title fit.
Picture has a mood and a drama effect to it.

Unique and well done! The eye is very striking against the face paint, and the composition of leaves around the face is excellent.

not sure whether the subject is botany in this image. But good image anyway.

would looks better with her red eyes... :)

Very creative! I love it!

I am quite sure you will disagree with me but this photo doesn't have plant life as a central theme. IMO it is secondary to the face which is clearly the subject of the photo. That being said, I like the picture. It is creative. Well composed. Well focused.

Interesting, unique composition. Maybe a bit more care so her hair didn't show through. Also I'd of liked to be level with her eye. I do like this.

Very good shot! Great color on the leaves and on the eyes. Maybe use PS to smooth out the skin on the face and remove some blemishes.

This is really nice!
I like your pick of colors. The only thing is maby the small area there, where you can see blond hair. (could have bought a swimming cap and coloured it the same colour :) ) That´s just me being neatpick :)
But like i said before... Cool idea and very well done
I like it how one eye is hidden behinde green and your framing couldn´t be better.
Havent seen all the photos yet but this one is my favorite so far... 9

heheh, hope she doesn't eat the plant.

Face looks kind of silver - but not enough so I know if it's by design or accident. Nice idea however!
