The lack of precise focus as well as the deliberately-centered primary subject is an intriguing use of artistic license to crush the photographic dictum concerning 'thirds' - while simultaneously throwing adherents of the dictum something to ponder with the wonderfully translucent curved background appendage in the lower region. The not-quite-vertical apparition on the right continues the lack-of-focus theme and adds a touch of tension to the submission.
Pure genius.
some people love to stir it up ,for me plant of the month should show a plant has been grown well over a period of time,i could post a pic of a nep pitcher that looks good but if i zoomed out the whole plant itself could look like crap,that ping to me looks more impressive with a pic of the plant ,nice ping kula
where is the whole plant?
Its a pitcher, not a flower.
For myself, you can post your dirty socks i dont care, im not the one who bring this conversation here. And why do you go crazy by posting each square inch of your plant ?
Just take it easy

I already had this conversation with thezyo, flowers are accepted. My point was the same as you; its the 'plant of the month' contest.
You were not meant to be the brunt of this. And as you say it has been counter productive. But say what you mean mean what you say.edit: waste of time here..
rarely do I ever see a whole sarracenia plant. Or neps. or. xxxxxx......... somethings just don't work out well for everything to fit. So they get distilled down to a pitcher, a leaf, a close up of something special . photo of an entire flowering capensis would end up a tiny little plant, tiny flower at top to try to get everything.......
