Very nice work Gareth. I like both the B&W and color. Hard to pick a favorite but I do like the two mash-ups.

Gareth,

Some nice colours and good light captured there.

Regards, Gary

Thank you both

I like Surrounded. What do you think about cropping that shot a little more to bring the solitary leaf in greater detail?

Seed Heads 1 is my favorite but it was really hard to choose. Wonderful series. Really enjoyed the B&Ws. Unusual choice for those types of shots but it worked so well.

You have a good eye for the artistry in nature. Great colors and forms.

Thank you! I'm using the mobile site so apologies for not using names etc in signatures as I can't see them but thank you very much for the comments, appreciate them

jnguyen - this already is a crop, probably around 35% from the original. I did want to crop closer but it was a trade off on quality so opted to leave some space and add a vignette to draw attention to the leaf.

Excellent series! I enjoyed each image most especially the seed head shots. Very artistic and unique. Thanks so much for sharing!
