(Day 124) - Spiky

Having some fun practicing my shallow depth of field on some spiky-shaped leaves. As a kid, always thought these kind of leaves were dangerous, like they could cut you in half or something (I was a very cautious kid). Turns out they're not prickly at all. All these years you've lied to me, fakers! :D

Really great dof and the narrative is fun!

LOL! Spectacular DOF and I see a dinosaur! Yay! I almost missed it because of your fabulous photographic skills!

[Michael Van Krey]

pretty sure your scary plant is yummy rosemary! I love your play with DOF - one of my favorite things to do! Nice!

[KWind]

Nice colour and depth of field.

[Taffy]

Wonderful use of DoF. And fun to read the thread...scary or yummy...I'd go for yummy.

Sweet image as always💖

What a great PoV ..I'm pining to see more of your shots, as always.

Or maybe I should say it doesn't need any sprucing up....(I can't tell the difference...). :)

I think it depends on the plant. Some cactus look pretty spiky- and you definitely don't want to run your fingers over them! I like the fellow who's trying to use them as camouflage in there too!

Nice depth of field -- and they do look kind of menacing

Thanks so much for the awesome comments! As some of you mentioned, yep, this is rosemary. My dad's growing a few herbs and they've turned out great! And nice catch to the hidden dinosaur, @grammyn and @olivetreeann! You've caught on to my hiding skills! :D

@granagringa - Haha, you're still the Pun Queen! :P

[Granagringa]

@cjphoto Rosemary!!! You get me all the thyme!!!

[Stephanie]

Ha ha ha, I am so hopeless, I didn't see the dino at all until I read the comments...
