Thank you for the comments. I went with a bluish/purple background to accentuate a rather boring look inside the tumbleweed. Manual focusing deep inside needed some color on this rather dismal subject jano

Love it! Another superb entry, spot on topic in my opinion.

Tumbling Tumbleweeds sung by Roy Rogers and the Sons Of The Pioneers, takes me back more than 50 years as a young child, my parents used to play this from a 78 bakelite record, on a gramophone that dad built himself.

That is about as close to a tumbleweed that I have ever been, thanks for the memories Jano?

Struggling back, I never realised that they were such prickly critters... but it figures.

Love the D.O.F and I like the frame. Not sure about the saturation of the blue though?

Excellent composition ~ Regards Bob

A really interesting image Jano, enhanced by the border treatment. Regards, Michael
