I like how the colors are inverted from a traditional comp: green surrounded by red. Beautiful!

Happy holidays, John. I love the curled red petal/bract at the very top of the image.

Well done.

Exceptional John! I like how the light emphasizes the green leaf.
I have a copy of that lens for my Pentax, and it never dissapoints!

Beautiful shot, John. I really like that leaf and your composition makes it immediately recognizable as a Pointsettia simply by virtue of the surroundings, without which it would just be an interesting leaf.
