Description

This is the last one in this little series. I'm not so happy with the composition on this last one. I walked around these spikey things for quite a while, and this was the best I could find. Still, like it for its sharpness. Thank you all for your encouraging comments on this series.

what a wonderful mood surrounds that plant. Light and contrast are strong and artistic. Love it. v

Sharp! Excellent b&w tones and composition. This subject could easily turn "dejvu" but you didn't let it. Excellent.

Actually I like the comp on the last better - however the sharpness and tonality here rock as well.

fair enough, this is perhaps the least successful one of this series, but that is largely because the others were so good!

I belive this plant is called "agave". It takes a very long time to be ready to make a flower (more than 12 years) and when it does... it dies. :( great composition btw, maybe the best in the serie!

Listen... I think I know what you mean! I had similar goings on. Cacti present all kinds of textural symmetry that makes you think... ahhh... but when it comes to building composition....mmmmm not that easy. You got out of it good though dude (based on this and the others you've posted so far!). Spines make for cares! excellent for mine.
