Great capture! Marvelous the way the light catches the spines, and the B&W is a perfect choice. A great find, Paul. A lot of technology tied up in the cactus. It provided food, medicine, dye for the early Indians. It is a treasure trove of benefits. And definitely an inspiration for sharp!!

Nice “out of the box” thinking Paul. The highlights from the backlighting really make this stand out.

Nice B&W Paul. I like the backlighting too - great impact on a "3D" look - those needles REALLY look sharp! Excellent as always.

It isn't exactly man's technology, but I am sure has inspired a security device or two.... and possibly airplane wing design. The needles protect, as even a child could guess, but they also slow movement of air on the surface reducing evaporation. The airplane connection? Not sure, but I did read it somewhere... Cool technology in my book, even if they only function to prick your finger.

Hope you didn't get too close to that while shoot it. Looks like it would definitely hurt! Great shot - the illumination along the edge really brings out the detail and dof.... Terri
