Well, I called this one "My World", as it is definately a true to "Sherpet" style of image, that I love to do.
This is a differant type of succullent, that I saw while in Sydney recently at a very famous landmark.
I was having lunch at the "Bathers Pavilion" Restaurant, at Balmoral Beach in Sydney, when I saw some agaves and succulents, in some large pots on the terraces of the restaurant.
I asked if I could take some photos, and this is the result.

"WOW" I never noticed that, (that is, re the 1's & 2's) and gee, thanks for pointing it out to me Nick.....
Also thanks for the compliment re this one, and yes, I seem to have a nack for succulents, but remember, they are often close to the ground, and in full view for me to focus on and photograph.....

Great finish Shez, you really have a fantastic eye for succulents : )
Hey no 1's or 2's either : )
Lovely detail and color - nice DOF chosen for this as well. I suspect this may be Sherpet - if not, it's a lovely tribute to the kind of work she does.
Get the impression this is a Sherryl image, nice work, you are getting better at lighting these shots if it is indeed you. Really dig the lighting and texture in this shot but others I have seen have better composition and leading lines in other shots from you, if you combined this with better composition, you´d have a killer shot :) 7
Wow! This is so vibrant and 3-dimensional! I love those brilliant reds outlining those baby blues and greens. And of course, I'm always drawn to these very close-up crops! Really great job!
Vibrant colors. I like its nuances and the transition from one to another (exception to the purple backdrop at the middle). I also like the dof and textures.
