Well done Per.

Per, I have heard of this plant before but never seen one. It looks out of this world. "Feed me Seymour" came to mind. You have captured the plant and landscape nicely. Well done. I sthis the stuff they made the original "Tequila" from?

I have something similar in my garden and hopefully it will not take as long to flower. This shot is beautiful and I am glad you included more of the lanscape. The DOF is very good and I like the composition. Thanks for posting.

Very interesting, flowers the photo is very good but maybe a little too bright? Excellent note. Good work.

Pamela, that made me laugh - Organic McDonalds maybe?

Sympa mais je la trouve un peu grise ... vu les ombres, cette photo a été prise sous un soleil trop haut donc me parait un peu plate , ceci dit chouette vue et belle netetée.

Alors ça c'est une plante étonnante dans un décor peu courant ! Luminosté un peu forte...

You have a good image here, but I think that it is too sharp or contrasty. This happens in some of your other recent images too and might be the result of over sharpening, particularly of the highlights. The workshop someone made corrects this a bit. You've fit this interesting plant in there well. I've seen tequilla plants in Spain which look a little different, but I believe do the same sort of thing and launch of a huge (but straight) mast after 30 years.

Maravillosa vista de esta planta Per, la cual nunca habia tenido la oportunidad de apreciar de esta manera.
Excelente presentacion, con bellos tonos y gran encuadre.

Wonderful vision of this plant Per, which never I had the opportunity to appreciate this way.
Excellent presentation, with beautiful tones and great frame.

Hi Per
I love this. I have a picure of myself lying below such a flower, photographing it. This looks great, and a nicenote too.

Yes, the big 'M'. I bet many an insect has enjoyed a snack here.

I've never seen such a plant like this before, and so glad you posted this one. The colours seem a little faded in the background, but still a very good shot.

Unusual shot, Per! Looks like a petrified octopus :-). I like the presence in the middle of nowhere, the multiple colors on the three branches and the detail in the leaves. Background with just a bit of sky gives also a very good idea of the situation. It was perhaps not the right moment of the day to shoot this, but, the well arranged framing makes this shot very catchy.

Great view of the blooming Agave. I guess in a desert climate, a plant really has to advertise. Great composition. Well done.

Only in green-tones...
It's a wonderful piece of art, this detail of nature. Great sharpness, beautiful lines, nice, the Agave or the Century Plant or the Century Aloe or the American Aloe or whatever we may call it !

Great shot! Specially because you photograph two different kind of agave plants with the flowers, quite difficult to find and do. The composition and sharpness are perfect. Well done!
