I really liked the composition of this one, but I didn't nail the focus on the tip of the spike. I don't yet know the name of this succulent that I found in Balboa Park in San Diego, but I like the abstract possibilities.

Excellent Bruce,
I like the feel and mood on this one. The tones and hues of green are superb. The composition is very nice...congrats. It has a smooth silking feeling...:cool:

Very nice Bruce. I love the color contrasts and the comp is great. It looks like an Agave to me.

Great composition Bruce! This almost looks like an abstract painting. Nice work.

You get back there and take this again! Oh my gosh, sooooo close! I'm not sure if I love the comp more than the colors or vice versa. It's a humdinger, Bruce. I just wish that spike were razor sharp in the middle of that sea of green. Wow.

Excellent find, Bruce and terrific composition. I really like the color on color here. Yeah it could be a tad sharper but this is very, very nice.

Very artistic frame Bruce. Like those mildly curving edges (of leaf blades) diverging across the image in the BG, in contrast to the sharp tip.
Lovely image.
