wow, Bernie..this is hot stuff! well, it would hurt to have one of these prick ones fingers!! I do love the macro of these thorns...can you get a big closer yet? and take a picture of only ONE or two of them? this is a lovely photo!!

oo this is beautiful, when i look at this pic, i just see "pain" prolly not what u were goin for, but thats what my eyes see, good job.

Wow, awesome pic. The color is awesome. Great job.

I like this shot, but I think it's a little out of focus and the leaf on the left distracts from the main focal point. My suggestion would be to try cropping this (if you have a bigger resolution, crop to 1600x1200 so only the thorns are showing =) If you'd like, I could do a quick crop on it and upload itto show you what I mean. Keep shooting =)

I love it!! Wish I had a camera that could focus like that. The colours are amazing.

We are so used to pictures of roses, it's very original that you focused on the thorns instead! Great concept and execution, love it!

what a "touchy" situation. i love it!
