The Garden Shark

I found this interesting plant at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens – Adjustments with PSE7 + Topaz Adjust to enhance the detail and texture.

Canon 70-200L IS at 173mm. Mid morning, ISO 250, 1/80th @ f14, EC -1/3 (D&M)

Outstanding clarity on this! I just love the Ft Worth Botanical Gardens (and the ones in Dallas, too). Going to be making a few trips over there this summer!
