This is a new variety of cactus called, "Brain" Cactus.
I fell in love with this plant, which is in a 6 inch oval ceramic glazed shallow pot, and brought it for myself for my recent birthday.
When this "Rhythm" challenge came up, I instantly thought of this cactus. I had to use my macro setting to get it at its best. I really love the rhythmic flowing lines and curves, and repeating patterns.
I hope you like it also.

Welcome back to the challenges and with a nice shot to boot :)
Congrats on making the top25. At first glance the cactus looked like some undersea coral. One of those, it's not what you think shots ;)
Thanks heaps for all these comments, as I also was very pleased with this image, and the result, as it has been four months since I entered a challenge.....
Well, I haven't gone through all the images yet, but I have a feeling this is the best of the bunch. Solid 9 in my book, maybe a half stop more depth to make it a 10. Terrific textures and lines.
