A poinsettia sits in the kitchen window, a holiday gift still providing much pleasure.

Great series! I especially love how you started out with the abstract before revealing the whole leaf.

This is great! I have often tried to get good shots of poinsettias but failed. I can see from your shots that I became overwhelmed by the fullness of the plants and missed it’s true character, which is in the leaves. Thanks for sharing.

These are amazing, and they move in a sequence, too. Just amazing vision of texture and shape. Georgia O’Keefe just called and wants me to tell you she’s like “Whoa.”

Beautiful, Cynthia, particularly the first shot.
