Seeing 2011 (#76)

For your consideration: rising from an opaque atmosphere, a pointedly fetal organism thrusts into the frame.

The scale is uncertain, though one might well hope that it is small; there is something disquieting about the prospect of a multitude of sharp objects — none too handsome at that — making a sudden appearance.

This canvas is safe, however: macro imagery of an aloe falcata plant's apparently amputated limb.

  1. Now that is a perfect macro or what i like to have. Focusing on a particular part rather than complete subject. Sometimes doing this captures a brilliant photo like the above one. Great work.
