November 02

Bristol

I really don't like those cactus but it's not mine so I can't get rid of it.
Really, look at it, there is nothing beautiful about it.
They never die, it's all spiky, dry, black and white, etc... ... ...Ugly! :)

Intéressant... tous ces piquants! ils ressortent très bien avec la lumière et le noir et blanc ;-)

I love your comparison Royalld. So nice!

It reminds me of a woman who used to live next door to me, a little thorny on the outside but quite enjoyable when you got to know her. Just don't try to give her a hug.

In black and white colour you made them uglier but as a photo itself, it's a beautiful one. With the lighting effect and composition you've made. Great! :)

well, cacti are atually very beautiful even when they are not in flower. this cacti maybe not the most beautiful in the world but KIm you have to give them just the little bit of water and it stops them from looking so aggressive and ugly. maybe talk to them a little bit or play them some nice music

Very nice tones!

1 good thing about them is that they don't need watering too often!
But yeah,they are not very attractive until they flower. :)

well.... it's the southern way... would you prefer one of those humid and green and lonely tall northern trees ? I don't think so..... just kidding, of course... ;-))))))))
I like the picture.

I suppose picture is better than reality, isn´t it?

Nice DOF, though; and I think the B&W heightens its ugliness....

It looks deadly!

Your right, it's all of that...until it flowers.
