    Really well captured Dan. I like the color of the stalk and the splash of lighter green on the upper left.

    This stalk was growing out of a huge Agave in someone's yard. I call them penis plants.rolleyes1.gif Well that's what they look like for the first 15 feet or so. It grew to about 25 feet or more and finally I said I have to photograph that thing. The home owner came home while I was photographing it, and the next day it was gone. He replaced this gorgeous plant with a small something.ne_nau.gif

    I took this during golden hour with a pop up fill flash and added a little vibrancy in pp.

    Thanks for commenting.
