Well daughter is back and she with impeccable taste chose the same ones as I did. Thanks to everyone who had a go some fantastic pictures.
Special mentions to:
Pieter: Gymnocalycium horridispinum spines cold have done with a few more points though but otherwise excellent.
Lyn: I loved the beetle but it's so important to the picture it detracts from the spines as a subject.
Kathleen's special award for the coolest picture goes to AgaveGeoff's Teeth or Spines
And the winner is .................................Paul D late comer but a great shot
over to Paul to choose the subject and Judge the September competition.

Re: August Photo Competition
If you use the scroll wheel to scroll up and down Geoff's Agave teeth become a functioning zip. Paul's spines become an interesting animation too.

And if the CactusWorld Journal is ever short of photos, we know where some good ones can be found
Re: August Photo Competition
Confession it completely slipped my mind Lindsey. Got quite a bit on at the moment but I'll add it to the to do list.
