Spikes No. 2

ETHIOPIAN EUPHORBIA, CHICAGO BOTANIC GARDEN, GLENCOE, ILLINOIS, FEBRUARY 12, 2011

Pentax K20D
Tamron SP AF 90mm DI Macro

ISO 400

Here's another view of the convoluted euphorbia "arms" captured yesterday for the macrophotography class at the Botanic Garden. If you stare at it long enough it looks like cattle (or maybe giraffes) moving single file through the veldt. Critically speaking, it has light, shadow, color and an S-curve. Maybe that makes it arty.
