More from Tlaquepaque.
I could spend an entire day there just shooting. There was SO much to see, I'm sure I didn't catch a third of what was there.
ps ... the prickly pear really was purple!

all over i like to see and explore what is all to find on the picture .... on the other hand I think a DSLR version with on open lens (f1.4) and only the guard sharp and the background blurred could be quit intersting too...but for this you need a DSLR and a fast lens.
he looks mean
very very interresting!!!very excellent photo
A very interesting sculpture in a lovely setting.

I definitely wouldn't want to meet him in the dark!! Great shot and the purple gives a little softness to the foto.
Looks like a fascinating place! Wonderful textures and colors! I'm going to have to Google this! Looks like Arizona...

I really like this, my type of sculpture. And your composition is spot on.
A lovely capture of this sculpture. That prickly pear looks interesting too.
Superb capture!
WOW! WHat a magnificent shot this is. Love it Tara !!!!!!!!!!!!!
impressive sculpture.
You've artfully captured this outdoor sculpture...you've made the most out of the light...I recall how flat it was most of the day, every day in Arizona. Excellent composition and postwork:)
Beautiful compo! And purple??? How lovely!
I lived in AZ for many years, but am not familiar with this site. Looks very intriguing, where might it be? The cactus really makes the composition. It is actually not uncommon for the prickly pear to have purple tones to it. Great image!
Wow I just love these gardens. Wonderful composition.
That's just spectacular, Tara! Beautiful garden, too - I've never seen a purple prickly pear before - amazing capture! I'm with you - I could spend hours shooting there!
Great composition & beautifully rich color tones. Looks kind of like a Mexican King Tut...
Beautifully seen and captured Tara!
