Ravi, this is a nice capture of this plant. I am not familiar with it, but I am enjoying the various shades of green, as well as the dew drops.

Hi Ravi,

Very nice. This is one of these shots that will also work as a square composition. The diagonals of those OOF leaves work well for keeping this version. well done…Jim

Ravi: This kind of image is what makes a macro lens worth it’s weight in gold. From eye level one would not have a clue the fine beauty within. The water drops are icing on the cake. Top notch shot. :+1: :+1:>=))>

Ravi, this is a great look at this often overlooked plant. Your top down view emphasizes the symmetry very well as does the gradually increasing softness in the leaves. The water drops are a special addition.

A very intricate flower and with lots of detail captured . I like the symmetry of the composition and could see a square crop also. As you have said some of the hidden beauty of nature.
