  Patrick- Good evening my friend. This is amazing work. I love everything about it. The macro and the angle of the shot are outstanding. The geometic look of it runing diagnally is excellent planing. The shades of green are fabulous. Lighting and clarity perfect. Textures and details astonishing.
Incredible work
Have yourself a most wonderful day, take care, enjoy

  Great image Patrick, whether you enter it as EOD or MD. The diagonal composition is fantastic, as is the full frame, color, texture and detail. Everyday objects surprise us many many times, and this is one of those times.
