Exquisite -- almost suggestive of the plant as much as representing it.

Subtle and very beautiful. Love the tones and the composition, itself. I do like number one in this series, too, but if I had to choose, it would be this one. There's nothing wrong at all in a digital image if it's obviously been creatively processed. It seems to me that in this second one, the viewer would have to think of this consciously to be aware of it, whereas it's the processing that stands out as a feature of the first one.

@Andrew Gould: Thanks for your very thoughtful comment, Andrew ... I was looking to create a mood with this little three-picture series and softness seemed to me to be the way to go ... ron

Wonderful softness and yet very sharp where it needs to be. Brilliantly done!

I find these plants fascinating at all times of the year but they are rare in my location. It's a beauty of a photo.
