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.
