Quick shot of a plant in front of a window on a rainy day. Going for a graphic feeling here, playing around with USM settings. Had some versions way more extreme than this one.

I like the geometry of shapes you've created, and the texture is interesting. You're graphic approach cost you some detail in a few spot. I prefer the detail.

Love the lines and the tones here. Very cool.

Too sharp, the artificats around the leaf edges are a dead give away. Cropped so there is nothing but leaf in the frame, I think this might look even better.

I like this for several reasons, first and foremost because of the great lines. I also like the tonal quality of the viens and leaf. However, the blown white background is too distracting and creates an inbalance in the otherwise calm composition (and the negative space on the top left too). If it could be cropped tighter without loosing to much quality (although it looks like you have gone about as far as you can) it would have helped imho. Also shooting a little up from wide open might have given you a little better depth to work with. I Like it though for the graphic feeling as you say. Well done overall!

Nice image! The texture and leaf veins almost look like skin. Good job!

Smooth and simple. Very pleasing and I think you have achieved that graphic feel.
