    The four spathes and spadices positioned against the leaves of this Anthurium variant in the Longwood Gardens Conservatory caught my eye. Droplets from recent watering added interest.

    All C&C are welcome.

    Hi Norm, your post processing seems to have really emphasized the structures of these leaves and flowers. I'd be inclined to crop closer to the subject from all sides, but especially from the top. I find that my eyes start to wander away from the main subject because of all the leaves around the flowers.

    Hi Norm. That little camera is giving you some impressive DOF! I also like the lighting and all the water drops add interest. I like the image, as presented, but I think Jerry's cropping suggestion is worth considering as an alternate presentation. This is very well done!

    HI Norm...Another possibility you might want to consider is a vignette to draw attention to the center.
