Great pocture Terry. I love the sky/Cactus combination. Youc could try to increase saturation in the green channel and make the Cactus pop out a little more.
Hey Terry,
Sweet clouds! I'm with Rene on adding a bit to the greens........that will just make the color pop! The central comp works here because of the arms out and the clouds. very nicely done on getting low and capturing the "spirit" of the SW and of the cactus.
I really love the point of view that you chose...wonderful and suits the shape of this cactus very well. The clouds are really nice as well. Very nice work!
I also find this composition very interesting. I only wish for a darker sky, just a bit. I would also feel tempted to saturate the cactus a bit. Overall a really good picture.
