Not surprisingly it was quite a challenge to get this leaf in focus in amongst the spiky branches with my camera set to auto. I ended up pre-focusing on the foreground by depressing the shutter release halfway and then thrusting my hand into the bush to what I guessed to be the required distance to get the leaf sharp. It seems to have worked but I don't recommend it with this type of plant unless you're carrying something to staunch the flow of blood. How we suffer for our art!
