It certainly is but what is it? lol. Great angle and shot. Super clear. I've enjoyed this one.

Must be macro but it looks so big! Very sharp, nice angle, beautiful sky. What I also like is the shadow on the stem!

Isn’t nature wonderful? I like the symmetry and simplicity.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important.

What a shot and I will ask as well, what kind of tree or plant is this? lol

Keep in mind that neither success nor failure is ever final.

Looks like part of a pine tree and a rose stem. Nature sure does have a way to catch your attention

Well done, Tom. I thought it was a tree until, I saw glooh's comment. Impressive!

All our lives, from the moment we're born no one sees what we do through our eyes. But when you take a picture, all that changes. - Karly Kohler
It isn't a macro, this flowering stalk stands @ 30 feet high! It is of an agave plant. These plants are the source of mezcal (AKA: tequila). :c)

The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from an artist is to make him ruin his work.
(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - 1832)
Good shot, Tom. We have a lot of those here in Arizona. I think they die after blooming, though.

Very strange tree... No editing? ;-)

"Violence is the last resort of the incompetent" (I. Asimov)
No editing, I zoomed in to make it fill the picture...so I didn't even crop it. I downloaded it to my iBook, resized it and posted it. I think this image shows why fractals are pleasing to the eye, because we see them in nature all the time.
P.S. I went by there today and it was cut off. :c/

Cut off? What a pity! Your photo has more value yet... ;-)

Wow Tom..this is way too cool!!! I am so sorry that it was cut down. Did they do that to harvest it for the good stuff :~)...the green of the plant with those tiny white flowers & the perfectly clear blue sky make this photo outstanding! On my HD, a straight 10 & thank you :))

That is pretty cool, not liking the look of those thorns much though! lol

"We may not get what we want, but sometimes, if we try, we get what we need." Rolling Stones
To paraphrase a math loving friend of mine.
The Fibonacci Sequence is very closely related to a number called the Golden Ratio, which is about 1.61803 (try, for instance, dividing every number in the Fib sequence by the number before it). The most amazing thing about the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio is that they are found virtually everywhere in nature.

This looks like Queen Anne's lace, but it's got less "laciness" to it.... and there are spikes of some sort on the stem. Good shot, nice idea.

This is a great show of how nature has always been the original mathematician. A unique and distinctive photograph.

It's better to have a living dog, than a dead lion.
