cool abstract

Very dreamy - I might take a look at my aloe now, I’ve never photographed it

[Karen]

Love the blurry softness in the background - it makes a great contrast to that sharp thorny protrusion that’s in focus.

Very nice shot

[Ann H. LeFevre]

You may think it's a lovely dream but poke your finger on one of those barbs and it quickly turns into a bad one! Beautiful shot.

Nice!

Just up my street! This is the sort of image I love doing with my Lensbaby lens. Is this what you have used? My only comment is I would crop down to remove that big blob of white (top right) into a square. The eye always goes to the lightest point of the image and when it is on the edge it takes you out of the image. This is a fabulous image and worth modifying a bit! I hope you don't mind my critique?

@marshwader Thank you, Madeleine. I totally agree with you. The light on the top right is distracting. I did not use a Lensbaby lens. It was my 100 mm macro lens with extension tubes. I appreciate constructive criticism.
