    Neat textures and colors, Mike. I really like the diagonal which reminds me of an unzippered jacket...

    Hey Mike, this is really surreal! I''m not even sure at which part of the cactus I'm looking at. The textures make it look like a pencil drawing, especially with the B/W parts. The color combination is wonderful and the flowing line of the green makes an excellent composition.

    Mike,

    This almost looks like a colored B&W. Like the diagonal and composition.
    Thanks for sharing...

    What a fantastic find! I've never seen a cactus like that before! The splash of green against the grays is wonderful and the diagonal "zipper" brings it all together.
