..still from the caves, some stalactites hanging from the cave’s ceiling..

..at an average growth rate of about 0.005 inches a year*, this 4 foot stalactite would be arout 9600 years..

An interesting angle and perspective.

wow. great perspective, they look like rich caramel LOL.

well! blur… but the idea is there- the previous is better -the turquoise is so amazing in these underground rivers

9600 years: drip for drip!!!

Now that is wicked cool as they used to say where I grew up!

So flip the image and you have stalagmites?

LOL! yep, pretty much so.. 😀

Cool shot. Wonderful texture and colour and the age and growth ratio is incredible

The blurring gives a feeling of a sort of waterfall pouring over you 🙂 Nice effect!

Hard to capture the color tones of this old, slowly growing wonder of nature! We like the soft color tones and the selective DOF here!

Quite impressive

That is wild…cool perspective and tones-reminds me of dripping wax!

Super texture. Looks like some some melting cake :))

Remarkable colors in the stalactites. I like the perspective that makes them seem to loom over the viewer. The age is amazing.

I really enjoy seeing these. You’re brave to go in the caves. We have caves in Arkansas, but I don’t do caves:-)

thanks.. 🙂 well, there was a tourist guide and it was well-lit (well, sort of..) so it was “safe”.. ;D

Bonjour,
great DOF..Well done perspective..Bravo!

Very nice. I like the colors and light in this. The angle of view and dof are very well done. Although, you’re lucky one didn’t snap off and take out an eye! You know what they say about stalactites… they’re only fun until one gets stuck in your eye.
