One of my top two and a 10 in my book. It stands out in this competition as very different subject and composition. A great change from the standard flower shots. I can't explain the whys but this shot just draws my interest. I kept going back to it. Great job!

Could be straight out of a Botany manual. Nicely observed and executed.

Very neat shot. the background is a little distracting. If you tried putting your a cardboard as your background, that might have helped it. Or rather get the green color out be selective desaturation.

Really nice vivid and bright colors. Color contrast is very good, as well as, DOF. A good picture depicting botony.

Nice use of DOF to isolate your subject. I wish the bottom of the left-most pod were in the picture - the pod is the main subject being the one in sharp focus, but having in go off the bottom leads the eye away from the picture before you get a chance to look at the rest of the image,

Are those jelly beans? Seriously, I like the photo. the contrast of red and green increases the vibrancy of the picture. It feels unbalanced to me, like it's going to fall over on the left. A more balanced composition whould have helped for me.

Great picture. I love how sharp and clear the focal plant is, and the great contrast of colors.

Why not just focus on the pods to the left?! The rest make it too busy.
