nice use of complementary colors... the plant doesnt look real for some reason imo.

I like this picture but the composition throws me off a bit .. first I wish it was more straight (the stem) then then maybe up higher (the plant)

The color combination makes this a stand-out for me. BOL

A wonderfully simple idea - executed with elegance and style. I'm impressed by how well your choice of background colors works. Very nice.

Good technical capture but composition is weak. Odd color for a background but the color wheel contrast with the green makes it pop a bit.

Red background overpowers the more diminutive and less saturated colored plant. Would have liked to have seen you use a less bold background color for this plant. Need to see more detail in the leaves.
