Nice lines, Bill!  The variety of colors, textures and lines come together here very well and the touch of glow in the greens adds some fine warmth.

I like the off center comp, Bill. I also like the flowing, wavy soft lines on the right. I would not have thought to shoot this EE this way, and I've never seen this comp, but this works very nicely. I like it. Kudos. devil

Bill - A shot I always wanted to make but not quite successful yet. Lovely off center composition with the leaf flowing throughout the frame with the veins !

Wonderful textures on the main stalk, Bill, and an excellent composition.  I love the contrast between the two sides of the frame - first class !!!!
