You have to tell me what this is after the challenge. I'm guessing some kind of sea urchin or along those lines. Wonderful colors, composition and perfect lighting. 10 from me and into my favs.

The pic is great, the DOF is pretty much dead on for this shot, for the challenge though I think a little softer would have worked better. The cactus itself doesn't have that softness to it. This may be attributed to the excellent contrasting colors that don't allow the softness to come through. I gave it a 5, but did not think it had enough "softness" to it. I don't think the lower right detracts from the shot.

IMHO this is a good use of DOF but it doesn't feel like soft focus

Don't think it is possible to capture any more texture and detail than you did here, excellent technicals. My only question is...what the heck is it? :)
