A lovely looking plant Kostas and includes the seasons colours as well.

The same good luck to you.

Kostas, nice diagonal placement on the composition. The colors are beautiful and nicely saturated. I'd clip that LLC so the lighter green area doesn't show through and maybe take a tiny bit off the top.

I'm sorry 2010 was disappointing for you. It wasn't the world's best year for me, either, but I still wouldn't change a thing. Six years ago I was diagnosed with a pretty serious heart condition so every single day is precious to me - every moment is another chance to become the person I was meant to be. I say bring on 2011! Every time I get to the end of another year I stand back and laugh in the face of death. :cool::cool::cool:

Hey Kostas, I'm usually not big on corner compositions but I do like this one! The diagonal flow is just right, IMHO. Jules has some good suggestions that should take this one up a notch or 2. :)

Hey Kostas,
Hope 2011 is more kind to you! I agree with Jules assesment so doing those tweaks will definitely take this up a notch!

Hi Kostas. I like the diagonal comp and you captured a nice mix of shapes and colors. The only things that catch my eye are the light green elements in the LLC (also mentioned by Jules) - I think the image would be stronger without them. :)

Nice composition. I like those little curvy green things, and the green tips. Agree with Jules about LLC. Wonderful colors. I love very close up images like this.

I hope 2011 will be a better year for you, and that you continue to participate in this forum and find photographic support and inspiration.
