Gigi- One of your best !!. Excellent composition using double curve from the leaves with the bloom providing excellent burst of color and highlight.

Great cascading effect to the leaves, Gigi. The bloom is very pretty. I think lightening up the shot (the BG) might help a bit. I like it a lot.

Beautiful, Gigi! I love the simplistic, graphic look to the image, and also the muted colors that just make the bright yellow jump out at you.

An extraordinary plant, Gig ( which I do not know at all ), and beautifully composed. Presented with great attention to the colour values - the yellows shining against the sombre and subtle background.

Absolutely lovely. The leaves are as elegant as the blossom and at first I thought that perhaps as Nathan suggested to brighten the background. But on second thought the sense of mystery of them is heightened by the lighting you've given them.

That's a very strange and intriguing flower. Lovely shot of it, with nice light.
