Very nice work Bruce,you are doing well with this 3D out of frame effect,you have chosen a lovely diagonal composition nicely balanced within the frame.Looks like a pretty nasty plant though with those large barbs!The centers remind me of little bunches of bananas:)
Thank you. The funny thing is I was too busy trying to get the flowers in focus with the narrow depth of field that I didn't even notice the thorns until I was looking at the photos when I got home. I'm glad I didn't try to move them to get a better view.
