Oh boy, I am not worthy :)

This was one of my favorites of the challenge, it is so nice to see different plants from around the world and to have a nice description to go with it!

Exposure= perfect
Composition= more than perfect, you lined them up just right.
Color=perfect/complimenting
Dof= just a bit more to put the front "branch" in focus.
Lighting= great time of day, the shadows add a lot to this photo.

Awesome job on the challenge, good luck on future ones.

I like the DOF and shot angle here.... that plant really jumps out at you

Beautifully done! I particularly like the composition because the plant in the foreground fills the picture so well. Good job!

Cool! I love the colours and the sense of light. Everything has a bright, transparent feeling to it. the shadow are really nice... feels early in the morning. Good composition and DOF too.

A brighter color than the variety I'm familiar with, but it looks like a mighty inviting locale anyway...

Brilliant shot! The way the sand sticks to the plant emphasizes the detail, and the shadows make it dramatic. Love it! 10

Excellent picture. Ready to be framed and hung on a wall. One of my favorites and the fact that you stayed away from flowers makes it that much better. I don't think I like flowers anymore.

The angle helps make what might have been a boring shot, to be quite nice.

Great. I really like this one. Great composition, DOF control and perspective. Well done.

Beautiful! Great work and it fits the challenge. I love the angle here with the sand dune rising before you. You obviously know what your doing. I'll just sit here and learn from you. Thanks!

Those greens are awesome, the lighting is spot on. The shallow DOF works well - 9.

This one just works well. Good color (a little over exposed) and excellent detail in the sand.

Wonderful. Excelent. I love the angle and framing/cropping you chose for this. Focus and clarity are supurb. The detail you captured in this is just amazing. The little grains of sand on the plant. The color is great. This is a 10 from me this week. DOF is just perfect. Great job. Good luck in the challenge.

Who says you have to have flowers! This is a great picture. I like how the light casts the shadows and you have the short DOF so that we can barely make out the grass in the back. In my top 10 this week. -danny

Very nice... Excellent colors in the plants, sky and sand. Perfect amount of sand verses sky in this shot. I really like it! 8.

This caught my eye. The shallow focus works well and the texture is very defined. Good job
