 Now this is definately a macro, as it is a close up of one of my cactus, after a rain shower.

I love how the water droplets are attached to the long cactus thorns and wiskers.

I think it reminds me of the celestial "Milky Way" so called it "Thorny Way".

Reminds me of a fractal (Computer generated patterns) Very cool. This is a great abstract. Think it might benefit from a tighter crop (placing pink area in corner). Nice job.

The thorn pods look like little drippy spiders. I like the spiney composition.

Fitting title. Being in Michigan, my first brief instinc was to think it was some sort of evergreen, but then, we don't exactly have water drops on the trees just yet :) Really amazing colors (unlike most evergreens).

Be as slow as you need to be. This is wonderful with the rainbow colors on the cactus.

Such a lovely blend of colors, and I just love the water droplets on the spines against the dark background -- beautiful!

This is a great shot... at first glance I thought it was a spider web.

This is a fantastic macro. I just love droplet shots. Especially this one because it just has so many beautiful colors. It does look like it belongs in the night sky.

Great subject. Plenty of great colors to look at.

Amazing how many colors are in this shot! These do look more like soft whiskers than hard thorns, and I don't know that I would have guessed that this came from a cactus! Great job!

Oooh - love the rainbow of colors provided by the rain drops. Good capture.
