    Jurgen,
    This is a marvelous closeup. Almost looks like the back of some gigantic spider or something.

    I have never seen this type of flower before. And you've captured it perfectly.

    I love the framing and the DOF. Good job.

    Re: Protea

    The Protea is indigenous to South Africa. It's only found in the southern parts of the country. 'Proteas' is also the name of the South African national cricket team, The team who is of course, without any doubt in anybody's mind, going to win the Cricket World Cup, currently underway in the West Indies. *ahem*wink*wink*!
