Hens and chicken plant. The cactus hen had a very small rosette 1/2" or less. This particular plant is known as a cobweb houseleek. Did a macro shot and was amazed at the beauty of it all.

Don't really see the leading lines, but nice macro.

I like the way the eye is lead from the petals to the base of the stamens then up to the anthers. I wish they were in sharper focus, but this is still a beautiful photo.

The shallow depth of field really gives this a sort of surreal feel.

Nice photo. I'm not feeling strong leading lines in this photo, though. Because "center stage" is centered, my eye goes to it right away, without being led to it by the lines of the petals.

The lines are there but are not a strong enough part of the composition for me. The hairs detract from the lines and break the flow through the picture. like the colours and the focus - just not in this challenge, sorry

I see the leading lines. Works for me for fitting the challenge. NIce colors, good lighting, good macro. I like the focus/dof you've used. It's a nice subject, but something is just not 'grabbing' me about the image. Maybe it's the static, straight on, centered perspective/composition. Perhaps a different, more dramatic angle would make for a stronger presentation?

I don't get the title - where are the cob webs? I see some small spider web appearing bits on the right, but no cobwebs.

nice focus choice. though, not sure if the cobweb or the title helps your cause. would have liked to see that extra petal at the bottom removed as it's a bit distracting.

ya need not have to explain it, just title it to match the shot. Nice flower and shot.

Great pic, a bit of a stretch for "leading lines" but great pic anyway
