wow, I have never seen this before. Looks very dangerous to get close to. A very lovely shot of it.

Has a nice 3D feel to it - textures are outstanding. Wonderful contrast of the sharp, spiky outgrowths against the soft blurred background. This composition really only needs two adjustments, IMO. Crop just a bit off the top and brighten it up a smidge and you've got a winner.

That is one strange looking thing! The green variations are soothing. I'd try cropping a little on the top to remove about half the branch, it just seems a little busy up there.

Really like the shades of green in this. There is a black spot on the right side of the pod that I might consider cloning out.

This is the forbiddingly spikey seed pod of the moonflower. The result of a one-night, pure-white trumpet-shaped bloom, alost as photogenic as a calla lily. Well-captured here!

Beautiful spikey thing! I like the delicate white green colors, wish you had given it a little more room at the bottom. I would like to see the red stem thing resolve one way or the other.

This is the coolest looking little sea urchin flower I've ever seen! Do you know what it's name is? (I don't)
the soft greens are really nice but the plant almost gets lost in the same color bg, needs a bit more "punch" to stand it out there

Nice. Try using curves to lighten this up a half stop, then dupe the layer and use "apply image" in soft light mode; you'll get a little more luminosity.

That is one interesting plant,(I seem to be saying that allot. Maybe I got to get out of the house more.) Nice greens.
