A good shot of this unusual plant. I guess you were lucky to get this shot with all those hungry caterpillars about.

Never seen anything like it before, wow. The light is absolutely fantastic!

Strange shapes, but I like the smooth look of the surfaces, which this shot shows well.

Looks like an acrobatic team. (or is that a team of gymnasts?) :)
