No 27 image stack, Eirini?

Actually, I like the shallow dof and overall soft, monochromatic look, but I mostly like the cute curly-Q petal.

Eirini: Oh I like this one. Marvelous subject and comp and I like your POF/DOF choice. >=))>

Great job in isolating the subject. Good detail and movmemnt by the growing pod.

POV is really good here. Choice of DOF is also very interesting.

Beautiful tonality, Eirini - love the subtle changes in tone and colour across the image. Very fine choice of dof too - and beautifully composed.

Love this kind of simple image! I like the soft focus and the neutral colors. I especially like all the curly ends and even the variety of texture. You found an exceptionally good comp and made a wonderful image of this simple object. Well done!

I like how you got matching colors in the background and all of the swirls in the pod. Would it have been possible to move a bit to the left to avoid the dark background on the right?

Hi Eirini

I like how you composed this seed casing, you captured the sensuous lines, and beautiful color tones perfectly

The neutrals really shine in this with a matching background. I like the dof, pov, and comp for this one.

I like looking at all the stages of a plant. You've capture this one well.
