a beautiful image and dedication
Superb capture and dedication tara. Happy birthday Clive. God bless.
A very prickly subject made lovely!
Thank you, Tara! Right to the point!
I'm used to seeing green cacti, so these brown tones give them a whole different look. It seems to soften them & make them less threatening - though I still wouldn't get any closer to those razor sharp needles...
Wonderful capture and great gift to Clive
A lovely birthday gift for Clive but why am I thinking of loofahs?
A beautiful cactus. I do like cacti alot. Happy Birthday Clive :-)
Good composition in that desert.
Beautiful image!!!
Fantastic capture!
Happy belated Clive. Great shot auntie.
This is a photo that truly gets under one's skin! :-D A most lovely shot, Tara - wonderful composition and balance,- just perfect! Happy Birthday to Clive!
Beautifully (and I hope carefully) taken! Love the view of the different species and the golden light on those points!
zoomed, this comes alive even more. The deep shadows really do set off the needles and the grooves. (I was gonna say "the fluting" but that's an architectural term!) And all that scraggly brush around it, with the tentacles reaching out to the sky. You caught them well, as if they were beings reaching for something beyond the frame. With deep shadow and a late-day feel to the highlights, and your reddish browns, a shot of mystery and primal lines and forms. A primal scrubby prickly subject which you turned into a very sweet photo... ( I started with the pic after this, and then went back to this...not earth-shattering, but it's not my usual style when I'm going chronologically...)
