Talking cactus bokeh
i love playing with blur and depth of field, and i love close-ups too

Prickles

i like the way the lighter sharp spines contrast from the dark, softer background
enjoy!

Great shot!

I love the shallow depth of field (I'm a shallow DOF junkie). The lighting and contrast really work with the image. Well done.

I really like this picture. I'm also one one of those who love a shallow depth of field.
