Galapagos Cactus
I took this grouping of cactus while on the Galapagos trip. Trying hard to get low at just the right height to include the blue BG and avoid most of the other distracting objects. I added my mini-world tutorial that you can find on my blog if you scroll down to the bottom of my Galapagos post. I posted it here on BPN quite a while ago but maybe some of the new members would like to try it.
I added Topaz Simplify to the image to soften the look a bit.
Nice composition, Denise. Love the colors and details. The cactus works well for the miniworld.
Lovely symmetry in this image and pleasing tones.
Really cool mini world Denise! I like the colors and texture of the cacti. If it were mine I would probably work the corners into solid color, as this one has a graphic quality to it that would be enhanced by that. Very nice.

Thanks folks.
Nice image and application, Denise.
It's been a while since we did the minis. ;)
Good PP Denise, can't see a seam of any kind. Did well in the original capture to get this. Like it as presented, but agree that a darker colour would probably make it "pop" a bit more.
You are too clever and creative. This is too cool. Can you share the ORIG?

Nice mini-world, Denise. Perfect subject for it! I love the complementary colors. I think I would make the whole BG a slightly darker blue.
Thank you all for your kind comments.
Artie, I am out of town for a couple of days and when I get home I'll post the original.
Beautiful Cactus and application. Love the colors too.
Thank you Susan, much appreciated.
