Wow! Like it! V

Love the vignette that places the attention on the prickly subject. Nicely done.

Might this be the Castor Oil Plant (Ricinus communis)? 'Tis a riparian weed in northern Australia.

Whatever it is, it makes for a fine subject in this nicely captured B&W. Vote. Something about these seed pods reminds me of one of the daturas.

Looks prickly - somehow like our chestnuts… Fine bw picture, Walter! Irene

Did you find the spaceship it arrived on? Great B&W work Walter! V

Very dramatic B&W plant portrait - whatever it is. ~BV~

well seen and captured with that special effect of light.V.

Perhaps some kind of exotic fruit? I like the shapes of the balls. Nice with the vignette frame too.

Neil Marcus		24-Jan-2016 04:15
It looks as though it would stick to your clothes if it touched them. The strong vignette seems applicable here.

Julie Oldfield		24-Jan-2016 03:38
Awesome tones and detail. Beautiful light focusing on the unusual plant. V

Image is well done! I like the B&W treatment!

We have a shrub with seed pods like this though the leaves are different to those...at a guess I would say some type of chestnut as they have those deep vein leaves and serrated edge and conker type seed pods :)

globalgadabout		24-Jan-2016 01:36
it certainly bristles with presence...potent image here..

Wonderful tonal and a great contrast finishing with marvelous detail, Walter. VVV
