Prickly pear can still hurt you even when it's in a state of decay.

That is one decaying, spiny cactus, Dave. You've got lots of neat textures and some good colors here. For some reason, I want to rotate this to a vertical with the "ears" up. :confused: :biggrin:

Great colors Dave. I really like the abstract feel to what is left of the skin of this leaf. It looks like a prickly situation.

Until Mark said vertical, I was fine with this as is. :biggrin: But I agree! :smile:

A very interesting graphical image, Dave! It has a strong visual impact plus all kinds fun little things to look at. The colors are quite interesting and nice also.
