    Great setting and soft light. The BG works really well. I only wish the angle were less steep and better eye contact would have been good, too.

    Really like the included cactus habitat. A better head angle would have helped this image a lot. I might have gone with a little more aperture; it would still have conveyed the cactus BG but would have softened it up a little.

    Nice BG, I understand why you went f/11, to try and get maximum sharpness out of the Bigma.
    I'd like a head turn towards you.

    The setting is superb, with the flowering saguaro!! I too wish for a slight head turn and maybe a bit more room on the bottom and left side for the virtual tail. Still, I really love this scene since it show such classic Sonoran desert!

    Head angle mentioned. Excellent scene though. I would also like more room below, but not for the virtual tail...for me its for the flower that is tight down there. I love how the claws are gripping the flower :-)
