Spikey

West Virginia

"Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher."
William Wordsworth

Nature is teaching me that this is a dreary time of year and best viewed in black and white because it is basically black and white. :)

Une image très artistique qui joue avec les nuances et la profondeur de champ.

Outstanding work. V

How cool. You certainly made the best out of an ordinary little plant. The darkness gives a mysterious mood... perhaps the early life of Audrey II (in the Little Shop of Horrors) V

The light on this is wonderful as is the quote. Agree with Alan K that the background echoes work really well. V.

Subtile image! Well done! ~V

Excellent! The central "spikey" object just pops out of the frame, but the presence of the "ghostly" echoes of similar plants in the background are what really make it.

Great! V

Superb shot! A very arty and evocative image, rather moody with that gray background. Love the quote from Wordsworth! V
