Really like how you composed this one Ram. Great juxtiposition of the sharp tendril and the wonderful BG colour wash.

Yep, the composition is tops, Ram. Nice eye to see the interest in this simple aspect of flora. Now I want to see what I can do with these. Not to outdo you, but just to try a neat subject.

This is exceptional, Ram. Simple elegance captured at its finest. Both the bg and the subject are flawless!

The tendril is cool, but, as often the case with your imagers, it's the beautiful BG that I really notice. Excellent image.

Neat simple shot, Ram; I like the graphic feel to it. These tendrils are great fun to photograph. I really like your comp for this and the colorful blurred BG.

Gorgeou, Ram! DOF is perfect. I kind of wonder if this might look even better with just a tiny bit more room on the bottom, so my eye does not run into out of the frame quite so fast.

What a great flowing helix. Nice job of seeing. The colored wash in the background works well.

Very different and pleasing, especially against such a great BG! Nicely captured Ram.

Just entrancing, Ram ! Love the multicoloured bg fading to the dull green at the bottom where the tendril curls. A real sense of movement here which I like very much.

A simple flow of line against a gradated background. Doesn't get much better than this, except I'll vote for a bit more space on the bottom. Seems to suddenly end there.

Thanks everyone.

Wayne and Wayne - I can see the desire to add some more room at the bottom. This is a full frame shot and I might have to add canvas. My problem with vertical shots has always been this ...a bit more always give me an itch to remove.
