Love the sweeping lines/curves in this one Bill. Like the flow from ULC to LRC along the leaf stem.

A striated Strelitzia!! :cool: The leaves of the BoP plant have a beauty almost to rival the flower when presented like this Bill.
A good sense of depth for a 2D image. :wink:

Superb, Bill! The striae and gradation of color do well for this image.

Bill:
I have played around with BOP flowers a lot this season but didn't know that leaves can be so photogenic also. Fabulous dynamic motion and flow in this image.

You have a good eye, Bill. This is a wonderful abstract, emphasizing lines.

Beautiful placement of the corners. I will be looking at the leaves more closely after seeing this beauty! Thanks for the inspiration.

Lines, textures and tonal range... great subject for a b&w conversion. Never noticed the leaves of the BOP plant. I will from now on! :toast:

Wow, beautiful shot! It looks like it could be an aerial photo of farm fields. The colors and textures are just gorgeous!

Strong directional lines, with a sinuous movement pleasant for the eyes. Bill, what happens lowering the light in the central rib? I love the photo.
Cheers.
