Purists probably won't like the diagonal leafstem LR, but I wasn't going to garden it away any further by removing it. The Arums were on rising ground so it was fairly simple to get down to their eye level
Hi Mike , being constantly reminded of ones , threes and fives compositionally in this instance the two are competing with each other .Perhaps the one on the right in isolation may give a more pleasing result .
The light shining through the plants is particularly eye-catching here.
I'm not so sure on the composition though with the distant plant and partially hidden specimen. Alternative viewpoints would definitely be worth exploring here and perhaps concentrating on just the single plant, as Mark says, would have been worth exploring.
Still an attractive image of a most photogenic species.

Patience, I will be posting some individual studies later next week, this was set up for the title pun.
For followers of radio series "I'm sorry I haven't a Clue", the more correct title my be Lord and Lady Arum-Hall and their son B.
