Hi Gus I love the flower but having trouble with the rest of the plant !!! The bottom looks busy? For these remember you can tilt the camera to your hearts content !!! Will get some neat angles!!!

Beautiful colors and image. I would have liked to see a bit more of the flower base. Thank you for posting this.
