They don't call them Prickly Pears for no reason. Taken with a Sigma 150mm.

Happy New Year and good luck to all.

That's cool! Did you accidentally walk into it, or close your eyes and spike yourself for the shot? Either way....cool

Well done. I like how the DOF follows the thorn back to the plant.

Thanks James. Let me put it this way---no photographers were harmed in the making of this image

Thanks Birdie. The depth of field is more of an illusion because of the angle of the thorn and I was close to parallel with the thorn, if that makes sense.
