I like that picture. We have one that is just going into bud, so I 
accept your challenge. When ours blooms I will post my response

Re: Peso: Christmas Cactus

[Igor PDML-StR]

Bill,

A very nice image (with the caveats pointed out by Bruce)!
I probably wouldn't have recognized the plant by the flour: it is so 
threatenly big! (The leaves fragments could've been a giveaway).


BTW, in Russia, this very popular plant is called "Decembrist", - for the 
same reason why it is called "Christmas" Cactus.
(Although the word "Decembrist" has yet another historical meaning, - as 
it refers to a big revolt back in 1825 [obviously, December] that left a 
huge and long-lasting impact on the society and the culture in Russia.)



Igor.

Thanks Bruce. The Fuji is a really nice lens for this sort of thing. 
The 90 is the longest Fuji lens I have, but I also have a crap load of 
El-Nikkors, I'm pretty sure I have a 150mm floating around someplace.


fyi: focus stack glitch on petal at bottom center. A few other places
near petal edges, too.


Yah, I know. I might have to break down and get one of those auto gizmos 
that move the camera to avoid this sort of thing.


But aside from that, fabulous looking.


Thanks, I appreciate it.
