I like the soft light here. This is a really nicely shot botanical macro. I hope you don't keep us guessing for too long ;) Also quite interested in what kind of plant this is.

I'm thinking some type of cacti?

The soft textures of the bark provides a nice counterpoint (ouch - sorry) to the sharp thorns. Nicely captured. Regards, Najinsky

Ouch indeed, great macro Mary Anne, I love the background as well.

Great insect hide-away against predators of the flying variety except I guess the extremely long beaked species?

The background sets this off nicely as well as the slight tilt of the subject. The detail is amazing. jano

Methinks a tree (or bush). Very well done!

A caterpillar or a tree? Very nice shot. - CameraShy09
