Canon PowerShot S90
ISO 320, f/7.1, 1/60 sec, hand held
Aperture priority, Evaluative metering -0.67
PP: PS CS5 levels, curves, crop, smart sharpen
This image, captured recently in the Longwood Gardens conservatory, depicts a compact rosette of Parry's Agave. The gray-green leaves of this plant are surrounded by marginal “teeth,” and a yellow glow enhances the central region. And what an interesting family this plant represents!
When an agave's central bud is removed, the resulting cavity fills with a fluid called aguamiel. If aguameil is allowed to ferment, it produces an alcoholic beverage called pulque. Distilled pulque in turn becomes mescal.
And mescal produced from the blue agave plant of Mexico is Tequila! :cheers:
But getting back to my image, what do you think about it?
