Great find and lovely details. It’s almost like those hairs are there to stop the bud from rolling off.

Don't know how this was posted twice. Maybe a senior moment.

Macro pictures bring you into a different world. On this one I line the lighting, and the way you nailed focus.

Very close detail of the cactus. NIce light, not over powering. And very interesting texture on the leaf part too.

Lovely light and I like your angle and composition. I've seen these in bloom but never paid attention to the details of the bud. Interesting to do so.

I really like the slant on the cacti - there are a lot of them where I live and I always enjoy their flowers - great fine detail in this beauty too.

Great detail of a Christmas cactus. It's the only cactus that I know the name of. They bloom right around Christmastime.

I love that the leaves almost look fake with the texture on it.

These are really beautiful when they bloom. You look to have the Christmas cactus based on the leaf. There is an Easter cactus but their leaves are slightly different. I love how you got a close up of the bud. Looks like it is going to be a bright pink in color. :)

I used a YN-560 speedlite at it's lowest power placed about 6" or so from the end of the bud.

That is closeup! I like the details, the cactus "hairs", all the little white bumps. I like the juiciness of the colour. It is fascinating to look at the world through a macro lens!

Really like how the light falls off at the bottom of the image. Focus is spot on, and I think you have a really solid image here. Out of curiosity what was your light source?

I thought cactus as soon as I saw it. Hope we get to see a shot of the flower in bloom.
