Description
Hi! I've been busy and haven't been around much. I haven't even had much time to look at these photos I took on Father's Day. I finally got to look at them today :) I was very pleased with this one.. I think it is some kind of Cholla Cactus. I am not very good at identifying stuff... I search and look at photos and they all start to look alike to me. :P
This was taken in Victorville, California.
My previous upload, "Sweet Intoxication". thanks for your visits/comments and faves :)
I am starting to realize how important light is, and I am trying to capture/use it better. It is a challenge for me. But it makes me feel like I am growing and learning as a photographer.
Have a great weekend!
HUGS,
~Melinda~

Very nice shot! Yeah, lighting is very crucial in photography. wait until you start working in DAZ or Poser....
This is beautiful Melinda. The colors are gorgeous and the clarity is awesome
I have some family that lives in Victorville... nothing like driving through the desert in the winter and seeing the mountains in the distant there covered in snow. now I am homesick.. :) beautiful shot.. stunning colors.
Chola is deadly but the blossoms are heavenly. Your capture shows the better side of chola - most lovely.
SPLENDID lighting and wonderful colors ! Awesome close-up !
great foto.
wonderful!!!!
Beautiful..looks prefessional!!
Stellar contrast, focus and textures in this shot of the cactus blooms, Melinda, and with that magenta color a variety I have never seen before.
Lovely result!
Beautiful capture,color and details. Cholla Cactus are so nasty. Dana
Stunning! It's also good to see such vibrant and rich colors...and yeah, light (and its opposite) really serves to make a photo pop: once you're aware of that then you've got more of an artistic palate to play with and that's never a bad thing. I'm like you in the plant-identification department: I really don't know my plants, which means I'm glad I have never been stuck in a forest and had to know which plants were edible and which were not! Ah...but like mushrooms, you can eat ANY plant once. This is gorgeous and I love the intense, popping color!
Beautiful work!
beautiful! Great shot!
