Description
Prickly Pear Cactus Growing New Cladode. A cladode is the flattened growth from the stem of a cactus, particularly the prickly pear varieties. The cladode serves the photosythetic purposes of leaves. Seen in the frame are spines from a mature cladode of the same plant. The finger like projections appear near the site of new spine growth but I cannot identify what this growth produces.

I processed the raw image file using Photomatix Pro 5, filters from Topaz Labs including Detail 3 and DeJPEG 4 as well as some minor tweaking in Photoshop including sCurve adjustments, brightness, saturation and the camera raw filter and finally I cropped the image to a square format reminiscent of the square image produced by medium format cameras producing this HDR image.
