WOW! Great color and texture, I like the light turning the green to the different shades. Terrific!

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Looks like a trap for large insects! Unusual leaf and a good capture of it Thad.

Thad, this is a wonderful shot. The colours and the 'drawing-in ' effect are super. That is one very large hosta leaf !

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Excellent close-up / macro shot, Thad. I've never seen a Giant Blue Hosta. Love how the slightly curved lines of the hosta draw the eye in. Would make a great contest entry.

Fantastic perspective, Thad. Wendell would say this is a Peacock feather.
Looks great.

This is a great macro Thad - the spectrum of blue greens is cooling. My mom has this hosta among a lot of others and it's a stand-out - I swear some of the leaves are 2 feet across.

A good perspective in the capture Thad. Good details and great colours and textures in the photo.
