Another shot from Ecuador. I liked the morning dew on the cactus spines, and tried to isolate one grouping of them from the rest. Comments and Critiques greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Nice details! I love the dew drops and the limited d.o.f. It does seem a bit dark but not too much. Nice job.

It doesn't get any sweeter then this. Great DOF in my opinion with just the one cluster in focus yet the repetitive pattern of all the others can still be seen. The dew drops a positive element as well. Great job.

Hey Cam, like you choice of DOF on this one. Water drops add a nice touch.

Very creative comp, Cam. I like the narrow DOF isolating the dew on the cluster of spines.
