Comment from JIRINA
Beautiful colours and clarity in this weed. Looks more like a flower with the excellent colouring, nicely showing against the interesting background.

Wow! An exquisite shot. A fine example of simplistic image. The soft colurs, the light and the composition make this compulsive viewing. Thanks for sharing!

Nice work!
LOL! The only plants that do well are weeds. I know exactly what you mean.
This is really pretty and I love the way it looks. This may be a good one to print and frame as it would look great in a formal dinning room. Good job!

Comment from Tony B
Lovely piece, I like the layering you placed on this and the way the leaves of the plant rendered is so well done. The set up is nice with the shadow plants being involved. This is just a nice piece to view.

Ethereal, aesthetically flawless, love the soft flowers behind the diva, the white filaments would make Elizabeth Taylor happy, and finally the sway of the stem, the simplicity of its position in frame, make a very pleasing sight. I could go on and on. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from soulfeeder
Very lovely. Excellent lighting and focus, showing the prominent details of the petals, especially its vibrant, purple petals and its lines and textures. Love those tiny bulbs at the tip. Presented with artistic background. High on creativity. Well captured and well done.

Comment from drmerlin
This is absolutely beautiful! First of all I love the simplicity of the composition. By that I mean the purple weed that serves as the main subject. But then you have a whole other composition going on in the background. You have such an excellent eye for design and amazing photoshop skills to execute your creativity. I would LOVE to learn how you do some of this. Simply first class!
