    Very nice pictures - I really love them! Never thought that the Agave can be such a sensual subject. Thanks for sharing them!

    Very nice study on that repeating shape Dave. Even though many of your monochrome shots are similar, the fractal look they add up to really compliments the mystique of this magical plant.

    Take yourself a couple shots of tequila and say that again (three times fast. ;)  )

    it was a fun study....

    Some of the shots were taken on different occasions, but you guys were correct is spotting the similarities of several of the monochrome shots. The day I took those, there were few clouds and fairly harsh lighting so I decided to give myself an asignment which was to take advantage of the harsh light and see what I could do texturally. I found this giant artichoke agave and shot away, trying several things. It was really a lot of fun. Thanks for the comments.
