Agave

These plants really grow fast in the California sunshine.

Nice tone and framing.

Nice light effect. Well done! d.d.

I love this, Jeri! Wow!

Excellent light, very well exposed and great BW!

Nice light and tonality. Best regards.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Regards Jeri

Jeri,

 

The strong shadows work very well with the shape and positioning of the leaves. Good choice with b&w here, the contrast is definetely there to support it.

 

Good work.

Very nice detailed photo, good composition and lighting.

Sherwin and Chaba: Thanks for stopping by and the kind remarks.

Jeri

It was pleasant very much to me!

Very nice indeed Jeri!

 

Ah, Temecula....sunshine yes!

 

 

Have fun,

You've captured this agave with an exceptional light. Besides, I can almost touch the fleshiness of its leaves.

Valerij, Larry and Paula thanks for taking the time to comment on my photo.

Absolutely gorgeous radial composition and tones, bordering on an abstract image. Great directional light, which also reveals some of the fine texture in the leaves. I particularly like how it's unclear whether the areas of shadow are in fact figure or ground -- like one of those optical illusions where figure/ground constantly shifts back and forth. Fine work!

Nice light, nice tones, nice framing. Neat!

Thank you Chris and Claude. These plants are fun to try to photograph. If the sun cooperates you can get some nice shadows and textures on the plant.
