Thank you Everyone and my sincere appreciation for all of your kind comments and inspiration. This image of the Victoria Agave has become today's featured photo on the AM3 homepage. THANK YOU!
I am uncertain of this plants common name but I came across it in the cactus garden at the local botanical gardens. It is a succulent and ornamental with its symmetrical rosette of leaves and delicate white markings. It sits about 12" off the ground. The light was perfect as I focused straight down on the plant. No touch up or enhancement, only the addition of my copyright.
Nice shot! specialy colours

When I look at the image at the top of this comment sheet, it reminds me of an artichoke...I love the green and varigated and shades of green...I have been working on that in my garden and cannot resist placing them next to one another for the look of a fine tapestry...I am not a photographer so I am looking at it from different eyes....
