Very delicate - I particularly like the soft tones and muted colors, they fit the subject perfectly!

Another one of a kind! I am so glad to see some "outside the box" views. Excellent comp, BG and texture. Almost tactile! :toast:

Very lovely, Jim ! Most delicate gradient colouring in the bg sets off the pod details perfectly. I like the way it seems almost to be swinging out of the frame - very nicely composed.
