Just an FYI - DO not let children or your dogs go near that Sago. They are poisonous as all get out.

It’s a Sago…Cycas revoluta to be exact.

Lovely capture amigo.

Thank you.

Dude, we seriously have the same wavelengths. I will send you a palm I did in Mexico, too.

Yours is better though.

@Lauren M., I’ll add it shortly. You are awesome.

@ABMann, 24-70mm. When I was reviewing shots to post, this one jumped out for the very reason you state; the focal plane is jacked and I didn’t even use a selective focus lens!

I rather like the curves in this and the bokeh. What lens were you using? The parts in focus confuse me as I’m not seeing a focal plane where I’d expect. Maybe it was the breeze?

Gorgeous. I would buy this one. Your prints make wonderful gifts!

I think that’s a Frondus Nonsequitus.

I also recognize that breeze. It blew through here one day a blurred up a picture I was taking using a long exposure. Later, it overflowed and flooded our laundry room. Wait, not your breeze… our washing machine. And it didn’t mess up my picture, but it did break down the door, when it blew through.
