This is lovely, Jim, I almost get an impression of glowing from the tendril-like fibers. Beautiful capture, with caligraphic forms sort of floating through there. Remarkably long exposure at f/32- what did you do, take the thing inside, out of the wind?! Really well done.

Keith, thanks. The wind was helpful. The fibers were inside of the Joshua Tree and they caught my eye as I passed by. They seemed to glow from the inside. They were protected from the slight breeze. The print has a very nice look to it. I was concerned with camera movement with the bellows out to about 21" of extension. Looks ok to me.

Wow, this is beautiful, love the wavy tendrils over the strong leaves/branches.

If you're not averse to cropping I would be tempted to take the open space off the left as I think it might help to anchor the shot a little more?

This is very good - I've come back to it several times. Strong sense of balance and a lovely mixture of tones and textures.

Cheers,
Gavin

Rhys and Gavin, thanks for the comments. Rhys, I am playing around with the cropping idea. Thanks. I tried cropping the image and it looses it's balance. It works the way it is.
