Out, damn spot! Great mono treatment to bring out the desert brush detail.

Lovely warm tones, complemented by the sky blue; nice tree symmetry.

Lively isolation!

They still fascinate - amazing plants.

Pot of gold buried here?

Bold presentation of bright trunk and shadow. I note a bit of bright haloing on part of the shadow - I believe this is a real phenomenon rather than a processing artefact, and not often recorded.

Ahh you've gotta go back. Love this. It's like all the "leaves" have arranged to gather there together just to watch the sun. I'd be tempted to get a bit lower to exclude the shelter roof. I'm imagining a big colour version on a loungeroom wall.

Great movement and tones!

Very good!

This one for me. The smearing of the clouds allows the cacti to shine more strongly, without losing the overall sky character.
