Her Chastity Belt
Just another lil Yucca in Bloom.

I really like the tight crop and the title fits beautifully with the crop.

nicely done! I love Yuccas and you did a great job in capturing one :)

I like this, James. Good lighting too.

Absolutely stunning shot, James! Well done! But where is Bloom? Is that in Colorado? I've never heard of that town.

In Bloom meaning it's blooming like me when I'm called a Blooming Idiot! LOL This was taken this morning in the Garden of the Gods, in a little Obscure town called Colorado Springs.

Nice James, I like the first one the most, great light and comp.!.

I can't stop.

And I can't blame you!
The first one is an outstanding still life. The spines reaching upward while the flowers are reaching downward makes for such an interesting and compelling shot.

Those are all excellent, James. I think I like the first one best, too. Nice work!

Beautiful! +1 for the first one.

Sweet shots James! Great compositions. I really like the lighting and the subdued color on these.

Despite the unfortunate title, the first is one of the better yucca bloom shots I've seen. Nice work.

I figured one of them might do well in B/W as well!
