Another image from my stroll through a tropical plant "forest" adjacent to the Smithsonian "Castle" in Washington, DC.
Being a complete dummy when it comes to plants, I got smart with this one and photographed a little sign that described this plant:
"Solanum quitoense - spiney member of the tomato family - grown in Ecuador as fruit crop for drinks. Known as "Naranjillo."
I heavily cropped the original exposure, using about 1/3 of the frame. I then moderately increased contrast and saturation in Photoshop Elements to add some drama. The bug... I didn't see it until I looked at the photos on-screen!
