 This is a small succulent about two to three inches tall. The soft fuzzy reddish white & grey leaves have tiny fine hairs or whiskers around the edges.

The red spots/marks on the edges of the fuzzy leaves look like blood, but it is just red pigment, around the edges and the top of the soft leaves.

I really like how the DOF allows us to just peek at the plant - blurry in parts, sharp in parts, so we get just a glimpse. Almost like it's shy along with being soft and fuzzy.

Very nice. Impressionistic and slightly abstract. Colors are not pastel, but feels like watercolor art. Like it a lot.

Your garden is so diverse! This shot reminds me of strawberries and vanilla ice cream. I am off to find that now.

Soft and fuzzy but also colorful as well. The colors are brilliant and the DOF is wonderful.

Wonderful detail again Shez! This isn't from the cactus family? It sure looks like a prickerly little thing!

I like this, wonderful colors. But unlike others, I would have liked a bit more DoF in the image.

These are beautiful colors and nice detail. I believe you have a bit much in the way of blur. Did you happen to take the shot from other angles?

You sure do have some colorful plants. I like the DOF. At first glance I to thought it was a hairy spider.

Wow, cool alien-like view. I like the soft focus provided by the shallow DOF, interspersed with suddenly sharp weirdness.

Nice colors and subject.
I agree with ZeppKash on the leaf to the right. In this context, maybe you could add the apperture and shutter values to the picture.

I thought it was the back end of a spider, a tarantula at that. eheh

The DOF is nicely placed I find. Nice colours too.

Nice colors and texture. I love the shallow DOF in these macros. I only wish that the leaf on the right had the same focus as the other two. probably not possible as they're probably differant lengths, but IMO that would have really made the photo.
