Pleased you included a colour exposure - it better illustrates the plant diversity I think. Is this the beginning of a Spring desert display?

This is my fave of the three. The plants don't have the same impact as next door but they're still very nice, but the LE clouds easily outweigh that.

Nicer being closer in with the plants but as you note, no cloud streaming.

Seems to give nice effect to have image splitted in half.

Yeah, the correction profile for the lens.

OK you're forgiven. Negligible distortion (any correction applied?) and many nice starbursts.

OMG, I cant imagine getting home like this and not getting stopped,.
This is like those clips of cars in India,

LOL - you could have blended it a little then! Very funny and appreciate your candour

Makes the leaf look like a giant tongue.
