Better compostion that the other ones, imo, still needs some work on your border with the partial flower on the bottom. Beautiful light though.

Hi Dennis, thought I would offer a few thoughts about your shot. I like the processing, I've got a few like this on here as well. You've done a nice job with htat. From a technical standpoint your photo looks well exposed, good color (maybe just a hint of a blue color contrast which often happens with a bright sky like you have), and nice and sharp. from a compositional standpoint there are a few things that don't really work for me. First the cactus is dead center and tends to become a "hard stop" keep ing the viewer trapped on one side or the other, a different pov and positioning the object at 1/3 on either side would help. Review the pictures in the "Rule of Thirds Challenge" to get an idea. You've also got some branches, leaves, etc on your borders that compete with your main idea. As one of my teachers once said "didn't do your border patrol". Anyway, hope this helps, keep shooting.

Well done - I love that funky stem at (low) center stage.

You've managed to take the "busyness" of nature and simplify its beauty. Looking forward to seeing more of AZ.

a nice enough flower photo with a few problems. it looks a tad underexposed, it's not really a landscape, the two borders are too big and don't really imporve the impact of the photo. And because you've added text to your entry you will be disquallified.

This is pretty, but it doesn't completely seem like a landscape-more like a closeup.

not what I think of when I think "landscape"...also, the borders seem excessive.

This is a DQ for text; also not a landscape.
