Wonderfully sharp with excellent lighting. Really brings out those thorny spikes.
Just an aside David. I was wondering why you had not been posting recently. It wasn’t until I was doing a little housekeeping on my blog, I thought that I would just click on your link and then I find lots of posts that I had not read. I have been using READER to check on people that I follow and had not seen anything from you. I always scroll far enough back to where I think that I left off on the last visit. Obviously I did not go back far enough after my recent holiday. If you are still in the UK, commiserations! although it may be better than the temperatures in Oman. Have a safe journey back.

Hi Dave,
Hope you had a good holiday & yes I am in UK: the weather….!!!!
Thanks for the kind comment on the shell image.
David.
Excellent work. You’ve captured its delicate colour and detail most beautifully. Liked.
Thank you JM – window light helps, for me anyway.
David.
