cool looking cactus and great colours. Great clarity and dof. I may have positioned the cactus just slightly further right but I still really like this

Something seems odd about the ground... It seems too manipulated or something. It's also affecting the mountain right rear.

I like the angle it was shot from. (not voting yet)
