What a unique and different looking plant. Very good dof, focus and frame to show the strange details. I hope all works well to re-vegetate the area that will be good for all.

What a unique flower of Aussie. Framing is good. It is not only telling about the unique flower but also the plant itself. Nice angle ang focus to communicate how unusual it is the flower. well done

Excellent close up of this unusual plant. I like the angle you used for this. The softened background works very well.

Lighting and focus very good showing excellent clarity. Very nice composition. Suzanne
