  Very nice Brendan, I prefer the first image as you included the head of the stalk. Stronger composition IMO, excellent detail and colours throughout.

  Love the first one. Love it. Just a different angle than usual and all 3 are pin sharp where they need to be. Print it & hang it.

  Hi Brendan,

  These make lovely viewing.
  The colour is very nice.

  Not that a favourite has to be picked but I somehow like #1 best.
  I think it’s that theres less green in the background.

  They are all very nice.
