Julie has taken a photo or an agave close up that she has not yet posted. It will be an interesting comparison with yours, as it is a slightly different species. You two had a similar inspiration.

That's beautiful. It almost looks like fabric trimmed with black stitches.

Nice and delicate !

Mirela said...

Incredible, and a bit confusing. Am I correct to think there a new leaf in the center and the older leaf surrounding it? But for some reason I see an outline of a new leaf through the older one? I'm so confused... :)

That looks like a prickly subject! Great photo.

You do wonderful nature photography JM. I pop by your other blog every now and then just to savour the delights.

Mirela, you are right! There are new leaves in the center that did not 'open' yet. :-)

I like the smoothness of this and the various subtle shadings! It's a good think you told us what it is, though, as I don't think I could have guessed!

Very nice. Kind of abstract looking.

Shades of green and a barely perceptible geometry. Daring subject, beautiful image.

I have a beautiful Agave but I have to keep it in the house. Our winters are too wet and it just doesn't like wet feet (roots).
Beautiful shot. MB
