I know this plant - aren't the patterns attractive on it?

I have one of these coming up and the deer or something had it for a meal.

Excellent. It certainly didn't need sharpening.

LOL Lynn..nice close up Scott.

This PoV and the mono tones make it something from Little Shop of Horrors. V

Close-up and three dimensional~
Stephanie11-Mar-2012 23:32
I assume this is some sort of cactus or aloe plant?
Excellent capture! :)
Karen Stuebing11-Mar-2012 22:37
Great detail. I never would have attempted a close up for this challenge but you sure nailed this.
Inga Morozoff11-Mar-2012 21:49
The spines look like wee teeth. Great shot for this weeks challenge.

Looks a bit like a man eating plant with an open mouth.
sue anne11-Mar-2012 21:40
Beautiful and detail on the leaf.
Barbara Heide11-Mar-2012 20:48

Fantastic close up image.
Johnny JAG11-Mar-2012 19:54
Nice detail
Janet Donnelly11-Mar-2012 19:26
Impressive B&W shot ...... especially with no processing. Looks like the plant has quite a defense system!
Chris11-Mar-2012 18:53
Perfect twofer! Vicious looking point to the leaf.
Brenda11-Mar-2012 17:24

Nice tones and depth of field on this maguey.
Ann...11-Mar-2012 15:18
I should imagine that the spines are sharp - it looks a very large plant too.
Jeff Real11-Mar-2012 15:11
Wonderful! A great subject for b/w and you did it perfectly. ~V~
