In a recent challenge, I was told the Yucca in my photo were 'unattractive'. Yeah...these look like Yucca to me but they are not unattractive: I like them.

I like the yucca for the foreground in this shot. The sky looks a tad bit oversaturated for my taste. Good choice for the border.

The spiky plants provide a stark contrast with the sky, with the simplicity making a nice graphic impact. The small leafy plant seems to break the pattern and makes me wish this could have been from a different vantage point.
