Nice, again. How about a crop or different compo to have less bushy area, at bottom? Thanks for sharing.

Vidyun, See, how Nature has designed what we call "leaf"!! Cells in the leaf have multiple paths to get their nutrients. Is this design inevitable? Didi Nature try millions of possibilities over millions of years and arrived at this design? Or we don't know things which only Nature knows? If so what is "Nature"? What are your thoughts?

Vidyun, you are privileged to be a nature photographer! Without spending time in nature you would not have got that feeling. Continue your wonderful journey as a responsible nature loving person and a photographer. Thanks for sharing.

Raj, I think as appearance "body parts" comes closer to our own body parts then the "opinions" starts changing I guess :)

Darker colors in contrast with the delicateness of the flower is very interesting here.

Interesting how "body parts!!" of a flower still evoke positive feelings ? Are we hard wired to believe all non moving ( for want of better definition ) living things feel no physical pain / emotion etc so we have none of the revulsion reserved for "body parts " of mammals, insects and birds etc Thoughts ?

I like the intense feeling. IMHO BnW will allow for a bit more tone management to enhance the character of the image. As is also the muted low value colors have created that sense of deep dark forest

Thanks Shankar that is the exact feeling I wanted to evoke as a Déjà vu state of mind. You are experiencing something it evokes a memory and you are torn between believing and not believing/ Rejecting what you are experiencing . So your sense of "Dislike" is a positive result !!!! :) I also liked to think how the folded petals seems to resemble those folds in the brain where all the make believe occurs. Sorry poetic self like :))

Thank you for your thoughts :) 1. Yes, two lights are used. One as backlight and another from left. Purposefully kept the light as straight as possible to highlight only facial features and attain rim lighting. I did open the front shadows when I was processing this image, but it took away the character of the image. So decided to go ahead with darker option. 2. Those 'bamboo-tracks' are actually concrete covers of the drainage line on which the leopard is walking. It is astonishing how these leopards have adapted to the urban landscape.

Raj, I like the image quality and compo, however to my taste the wrinkled / crumbled feel of petals making less attractive to me :-). Is that our mind is so tuned to softness feel of rose petals.

A fine portrait. I like mood, which the low key and the very moderate saturation make.

I think this will make a fine print, Prashanth. I would clone out the little stokes on the left for the print.

Hmm, this image clearly shows how a browser can render vibrant subtle colors in a suboptimal way :( The petal appears much paler as viewed using a browser (Chrome)..

Interesting camera trap images are made using creative lighting (of course taking welfare of subject into consideration). Well done with the lighting. I guess you have two lights here one from back and one from front. I think opening the front shadow just a tad bit (or repositioning the front light just a bit towards rght would have added further in my view. That said, you have done very well, Atharva. Thanks for sharing.
