Desert Jewels
Uploaded: March 13, 2010
Found this pretty plant in the Desert Dome at the Henry Doorly Zoo. The light was just right to show off its blue green leaves against a red rock wall.

Amazing lighting quality that showcases the very subtle colors and details and is wonderfully presented against the gorgeous backdrop. #8453976Diane Pignet March 14, 2010
This certainly is a jewl...well done the colors are beatiful. I believe this is a sensative plant. I have been growing them since I was little. When you touch the leaves they close up.Great portrait of this plant Nikki. #8454444

Wonderful shot with sharp detail and fantastic shallow DOF, Nikki!! #8454649Kathryn Wesserling March 17, 2010
Beautifully balanced, Nikki. Enough bits of red throughout the plant against a strong (but not dark) green. Blurring the wall behind it without losing the red tones or muddying it altogether was well done. #8462400Daniella Puente March 19, 2010
