Yes, this cactus is a first time for me too. Really beautiful plant!

Ouch!! That is one dangerous looking plant. I love your use of the light and DOF. It hurts to just think about touching that devil. No roses here!

Congratulation on being selected for the feature photographer - you surely deserve it! I enjoy seeing your work - thanks for sharing.

Eeek! That kind of scares me. The needles stand out so sharply with the other colors, no pun intended.

Ouch is right. Superb details. And congrats. (Just read Stan's comment. What did I miss? Who's featuring your photography?)

The focus is so sharp :-)
I love the light. The spines just pop out at us.

nice shot. great color, light and DOF. I hope it's not one of those cacti that springs its thorns out at you when you get close... That's a really great quote too, hadn't heard it before.

We have those in Avignon too but I never even came close to such a good photo. Sharp!

I sure wouldn't want to touch it...looks deadly!

Typically, cacti have more thorns but those thorns are shorter and much less intimidating. These look very "ouch." Great capture Kevin.
