The plant has a spooky quality. I like the addition of the flies which seem to be in danger of being consumed by the plant. Nice composition.

Whoa---what planet is THIS plant from? :) I'm glad you posted the close up as I felt almost retarded trying to locate the other little fly-guy. That plant just blocks out everything else as you just can't believe what you are looking at! I love that I had to 'find it'--made it almost a game here. Great eye, Nira! :) -Kerra
