lovely capture.. I love the bug on it too
That bug is really hard to see, great shot Christo.
Wow that is some camouflage superb capture !!
I have never seen this species. Marvelous image Christo... Looks like nasty thorns..
Amazing and very interesting, Christo!
interesting plant. seems like a cactus kind to me. nice with the insect which is not visible at first glance. sometime when we visits places we can't be there when there is the optimal light situation (like morning or evening) it can help if you carry a 5in1 foldable reflector. this gives you lot of opssibilities for close up photos. in your pic you had hard sun light from the top. with the semi transparence of the refelctor you can diffuse the sunlight. another trick is to use a fill flash which works well in bright sunlight to get rid of the hard shadows. try at home with some flowers in sunlight to find out the correct dosage for the fill flash.
Awesome capture.
Great work my friend nice subtle colours and I had to look for the insect very hard to see. God bless you my friend. Geoff.
Looks like a dangerous plant....
a wonderful image! FANTASTIC picture!!!!!
Those thorns look very sharp and are great protection for the flowers. An excellent capture.
Interesting to see it with its flowers. Well done Christo! Clive
