Never knew such a simple plant could have so much depth in color

Nice light and nice composition. Natural light?

Nice one!
I'd try a b/w conversion here and make it more graphical with some locally high contrast or dodging/burning.
Cheers

A funny aside to this image. I made it into a square crop and did a 24x24 metal print. As I was taking it out of my car to take into a gallery where I frequently show work , a lady stopped me and asked to have a looksee. She bought it and I made the extra 30% I would have had to pay as a gallery fee. Deal!

I did do one B&W conversion and may return to it in awhile but was not overly enthralled with the initial look. Perhaps more contrast would do the trick. it's in my, "let's look at this again in three months file."

Thanks everyone for the kudos.
