great angled macro

Magee in reply to brirose55’s comment, 7 months ago

Much obliged Bri. I figured, if I came at it from above, I’d have less little spikes to duck and weave around with my black colouring in pencil!! lol!

Von McKnelly, 7 months ago

I guess that was a bit of a tease, sorry. I’ve done some research in the past 10 min. and have become an expert on cacti….so I can now say that you’ve outdone yourself with this shot. -Von Cacti
