Spiky
2009-03-06
I think "violent" is a good description for this shot. I'm never totally happy with my agave captures (there's a lot of it in the botanical gardens), but I think this comes close. Some of the plants are just so dangerous looking...
This is a macro shot with my compact, grayscaled and duo-toned. I like how the excess of thorns and thorn shadows contrast with the soft spots on the leaves.
