I was visiting a friend in Mesa, Arizona......and decided to go to the Superstition Mtns. for a sunrise. Since I did not previously explore the place.........settled on this cactus as my morning shot as the sun was quickly coming up. Ideally.......I would have preferred a more typical cactus..........but felt the branches coming out of the ground helped this one. E100VS film........man I loved that film........no other exposure techs........that is a definite plus in digital!
As always comments welcomed and appreciated.

Hi Roman,
I would like to see the top a little less dark. You almost lose the detail there on the cactus.
I do love the colors and bg is awesome.
Looking forward to more Arizona pics.

Beautiful rich colors and I even love that oddly shaped cactus. I agree that a bit of lightening at the top is needed.

Cool colors Roman.

Agree that lightening the top and getting better definition of the cactus to the BG would be good. Not sure if it would have been possible, but moving some to get separation between the two lower arms of the cactus would have been ideal.

Is this recent? You used film? OMG!:eek:
