What is this? Looks like a cactus. Interesting. Nice colours and DoF.

I love the focus on the 'pins'. Great one!!

As of yesterday I started a photo log. I had a lot of foreign visitors lately who couldn’t understand the Dutch language but just came to visit my site for the pictures. That’s why I thought it would be nice to open a photo log that everyone can read and comment on in English. Please visit when you have the time, I will regularly, almost daily, post new photos.

great colours......looks like it could hurt a bit, reminds me of a pepperami - except for the needles :P

Pretty! Is that a cactus tree or just a cactus? Either way i wouldn't want to run into one of those! Although you know what they say... "Every daisy has it's thorns...." Wait is that right?

I first thought it was an animal :-)

Can't say I find it beautiful (the cactus).

The picture captured it all !

Great closeup - looks great with the slightly saturated colour and good use of selective focus.

A prickly subject wonderfully captured! ;-)

awesome! kinda looks like a giant caterpiller!

Great composition! i like the contrast between the soft flowers and the hard, threathing cactus. Beautiful colors too!

Loads of detail and interesting stuff to look at.

super colours as well.

not sure what happened to link on my name it apears to open www.microsoft.com........

The colors and details in this shot are amazing. It has a 3D feel to it. I could almost stick my hand in there and touch it. Beautiful.

It looks to me that if you aren't careful photographing those daisies, you could end up in a prickly situation.

I like the DOF and the "busy" look to the photo.

Wonderful colors and light, Ryan. Love it!
