If you just avert your eyes for a moment, I'm going to beat up DPC for you.

Ho hum! I think DPC needs to be taken down a dark alley and beaten up from time to time.

Phloem & Phyladendron

This is really great...nice velvety feel and good three dimensionality. Maybe could do with a shift towards blackness but that could be my monitor. Plus leaf would have been better placed on the uniform vertical part of the grain...at the moment it is a little confused with the swirly part in the bottom left. Honestly, if no-one else likes this then it's their loss and indicative of the rather restricted outlook of our fellow DPCers. I think it's 'phloem' too.

Magical! I love the contrast between pure and cluttered and the artistic evidence of a passing animal. Top shot so far...

....and coming back for second pass, it has lost none of its charm. Moving up to my only 10 of the challenge

I'm sure this would look outstanding very big....not sure why you have hampered the appreciation of this shot by making it so small here.

Mood, lighting, still life feel, exquisite detail, composition - all make this seem like a Rembrandt. Excellent capture and processing.
P.S. Have you thought about a grunge effect? It would bring this into the 21st century, you old fogey.
P.P.S. Have you thought of a nice Cromwell portrait a la Librodo? He is such an attractive man.
