stunning and yes, a bit ...evocative. Interesting fact: I bought this exact same lens about 3 weeks ago!! How bizarre is that? I'm in love with mine too. Happy Snapping, BB
Bush babe, it's a great lens! I'm not sure I need a macro now, but I'm still thinking about the 60mm.
What I didn't know was that if you leave the anti-vibration on while you're using a tripod, you can break the lens. Always, always turn the AV off when using a tripod. I learned this last night at my camera club meeting.
I showed my hubby your post. He's a landscape architect and, believe it or not, actually knows _a lot_ about plants (you'd be shocked if you knew how many L.A.'s actually don't know anything about plants).
Anyway, he responded instantly to your photo, saying that Yes! It is erotic and evocative (as Bush Babe stated). But he also said it was soft and feminine. Tom suggested you view images of male cycads. As the male cones (sex organs) develop, they take on an appearance reminiscent of human male genitalia -- long, straight, and firm. After they dehisce, the cones droop and dangle (his words). He said for you to Google: cycad male cone
When I lived in Florida, I had a huge Sago palm.(cycad) It was a male plantlike your picture.Every spring it would shoot up a thingy.My husband would take many pictures. Never thought much about it ,till I read this post.lol
A Novel Woman, AKA Pamela Patchet, was unwittingly born and raised in Toronto instead of Paris. She worked her way from A&W carhop to political advisor to advertising executive where, on any given day, she was called upon to soothe disgruntled clients, cajole temperamental artists, juggle multi-million dollar budgets or locate trained penguins for television commercials. She married a handsome dentist for love and a lifetime of free dental care, raised three kids, and established a freelance writing career, not unlike her earlier jobs, minus the penguins.

I've always thought some flowers are erotic. Glad to know I'm not the only only dirty-minded person. :)
Gee Whiz! Now I feel like a total ho for the comment I made on yesterday's pics. "Dive right in?" Dang!
