This thing reminded me of a cross between the"Predator" and an alien from a 50"s sci-fi flick that looked like a giant succulent. Can't remember the name.

The title is fully borne out by the image, Michael ! Very well seen, with just the right lighting to create the mood.

I like this as posted Michael but think it would also be great as a black and white.

Very striking graphic image. No nits from me, the DOF works very well.

Thanks for the comments. Pat, I did do a b&w conversion and flipped a coin as to which one to post.

From the Latin, meaning left handed. Since I am one of those, I really prefer dexter...

And since sinister is the title, the lighting can only be just the left lighting to create the mood!

Neat look at this cactus, Michael. Both the lighting and those "hairs" fit your title well.

Michael: I was out of town when you posted this so I was not able to comment but did not want to miss the opportunity. Wonderful subject superbly titled, captured and presented. Many kudos. >=))>
