This is gorgeous Jen. Don't you just love seeing those taro fields when they are at this stage. You've certainly captured a beautiful scene here. The composition, lighting, clarity, color is just perfection. Excellent post and thanks for sharing the beauty with us.

I need to wear my glasses for these. I read your title as "almost pot" Glad it is a stiking photo of POI . Nice mountains in the background and it looks like it could rain.

I feel like I have a fieldmouse's view of this vegetable field and to get to the other side, I'm just weighing up whether to pongo-jump from leaf to leaf or take the subway route under the leaf canopy.

I love the proportions of this shot, Jen and whilst the view of the mountains and sky is terrific, I do think the way you've captured the sheer expanse of this vegetation is a stroke of genius. Great stuff!

A fantastic shot Jen .. perfect lighting & the mountains make an excellent backdrop. I learned so much about the taro plants when I was in Hawaii ... I happen to love poi also. Very nice composition.

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel. -Josemaria Escriva

those leaves are so perfect, it almost looks like you painted them on! crystal clear image and the background and DOF is very good What is Poi? is it a kind of salad or do they turn the leaves into a product? well done Jen! Patti

Terrific exposure. Quite a landscape. Looks like a setting that would lend itself to a panorama?! Another majestic shot from you that I can take a mini mind-vacation in. If Caedes in my "travel" agency than your photos are some of my favorite "destinations." (If only you could include a scratch 'n sniff component into your images I'd be set.)
