I'm sorry and I don't mean this to resemble any body part but my hobby to get close ups, as I mount extention tube PK13 and TC 16A on normal 500mm lens then it changes to a micro lens.

This is a good example of how nature mimics the human body or vice versa, good shot macro. Greetings

Well, the fact that it does look like a breast (it really isn't one?) -- creates a pleasing surrealistic image. There's something iffy about the background, though, where the aureole of green replaces the purple. So centered around the "nipple" it looks as though it might have been photoshopped there to underline the point of the picture. If it wasn't, I think I would have moved to one side or the other to avoid the perfect line-up.

Mamcg, this is definitely a great macro shot of the aloe vera plant in your country that depicts the breast on a woman's anatomy, great details, although I agree with Gareth in regards to the slight blurriness on the right front bottom, just a thought, maybe you could have cropped it a little tighter.

Thank you for sharing,

Keep right on creating,

Cherie

Wether you meant it to or no I think we all know what body part you're referrring to, which adds a nice touch of humour to it, intentionally or not. Because of course in thumbnail thats's what it looks like. However putting that aside and jusging as it is, I think you've made a pretty good job of the close-up, what appear as goose bumps in the thumbnail are nicely defined as is the 'nipple', however there does seem to be a lack of focus right at the bottom right of the image which I find slightly distracting.

It reminds of a female breast, with an huge thorn at the top. Macro images can really distort the reality, is not so? nice capture Mamcg.
