Almost Ready Photo

Photographer’s Note

Prickly pears are almost ready to eat. In a few weeks they will change their color to red, and their taste to sweeeet!
Beware of the spikes.

Good to see a first attempt at one of your favorite photo subjects with the new camera, Itzik. The framing is good to illustrate the "fractal" structure of the cactus plant and the colors look quite natural and vivid - perhaps the sharpness could be a tad higher. But overall it's nice.

Hi Yitzhak,

A good close up shot of the prickly pear. It almost looks alive & animated. Excellent sharpness, lighting, dof, & color. Tfs!

A new camera Yitzhak?

wellcome aboard!

nice capture of the plant, I like cactus a lot, in fact I have three in my house, and one is a big one, more than 3 meters height,

a bit more sharpening to my personal opinion,

K.

Hi Itzik,

Congratulations with your 350D, you took these picture without tripod, but with very great speed of 1/200, I find very difficult take without tripod or monopod with this lens.
Maybe you take this picture next week with red fruits, and F/16 and your camera on Av.
I'm curious which result!

Have a nice weekend,
John

Hiya Yitzhak, very interesting shot, great DOF on the fruit, natural colours, when I first saw it I immediately thought of Gaudi! Stay safe, well captured!
