@Lídia: Gracias Lídia, son flores de cactus, en realidad esta foto es una macro de la corona de un cactus enorme, lo que llaman vulgarmente un 'cojín de suegra' o más cientificamente un 'echinocactus grusonis'

A weird but graphic flower and a good composition. Nice in B&W but i would like to se also in color just for to see in reality.

@Evelyne Dubos: Thanks for comment!. IMHO in photography the term 'reality' is a bit confused, but I understand you, Evelyne :-). This picture is actually much more conceptual than documentary. I've just changed the title :-)

a very 'otherworldly' scene! feels like we could be looking at flowers on the moon! :) lovely pale white light to this -- the spiky flowers make it all the more intriguing! the foreboding title sits well here... makes you think! marvelous capture!
