I haven't seen this color of poinsettia before. I like the shades of light on the leaves. Good informative artist notes. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

I have never seen a purple Poinsettia either Annie, this is my first. Very interesting! You notes are packed full of information. I like the textures within this flower. I must say even though you snapped the shot from above it seems to be a very good angle. Good exposure showing off the different shades of purple in this Poinsettia. I like it. Well done Annie.

Beautiful plant here! I have never seen a purple poinsettia either. This has very pretty & unique colors. The green in the center draws the attention across the entire image. I also learned a lot from your notes about Advent! Thanks for sharing the photo & the information!

I've never before seen a purple poinsettia as well.
Love the "quilted" look of the petals.
The arrangement of the leaves is definitely a nice touch.
The little splash of green among all the purple stands out as well.
Thank you so much for sharing.

Wow! I have never seen one this colour either. When I first saw it I thought you had changed it! It's really different. I love the focus on the centre of the flower. Well done!

    Thank you very much for the review. I would appreciate if you told me what I can improve to get 5 stars. Your review doesn't indicate anything like that.

    Sorry! Yes, I did mean to put about the edges. It looks as though you have put a vignette on which, together with the frame takes the eye away from the picture.

Great initial impact. I like the unique quality of your subject. Nice tone and lighting. A different way to approach the framing. :). Close up and personal. Thanks for sharing!

Great photo of a different poinsettia. Nice colors and the composition is great with those lines that go out to the corners. Beautiful first impression.
