I was thinking the same thing as Frankie ~ Venus Flytrap. A very neat spiral Larry & I love the different shades of green. Beautifully done.

I hate to disagree with everyone, but this looks like some sort of underwater plant to me. Really unusual and excellent.

No doubt in my mind that it is a glorious green sea anemone .I know it is because I see it gracefully moving with the current, and I believe I saw a little fish swim through its fronds.

Anemone I see you glow

lol my poetry skills are on vacation!

(Try saying this fast "The enemy of an anemone is not any anemone)

Wow you've actually grown something organic here. The underwater assessments fit well with all the shadows of nautilus shells. It's a knock out.

Really nice work Larry.

Took a look at the contest submissions (some short time back) and I think yours here was indeed a standout.

'Vegetarian'? You bet. :o)

If I may ... and forgive me if I have this wrong, but I think you have Photoshop and perhaps something to keep in mind for next time round ... all's I did was duplicate the "Background layer" and set the "Blending" mode to "Overlay" with an opacity setting of approximately 30%.

The result was some additional contrast, which in my mind and in very humble opinion ... provided for some more delineation of your 'plants' spirals, both in the green and gold colour against the background.

A little more polished to my eyes as well. As your flame stands here, and forgive me as this is not the most appropriate of words or terms or phrasing, but does come to mind ... the lighting is a tad too even across the board. Just needs a hint of more depth to the blacks, that's all.

Having said that ... make no mistake, I think this is a winner.

And but of course, thanks for sharing your work with us. It is most appreciated by this viewer. :o)

Thanks for your comments Les. Although I do appreciate your suggestions this image was originally created with a Vegetation contest on DA. I know that one of the rules was minimal postwork. I already played with the color settings and contrast in Photofiltre.
