You tricked us very well, Per. You had me fooled completely. Excellent colours, your Wild-West creation does work! PP work is great as usual. TFS.

I thought it was a huge cactus too until I read your note Per, You did a great job here in pulling my leg. And an even greater job in creating this picture from a potted cactus. Well done

Funny thing that it does look like a hand gesture, it must be something to see this in a garden. I also like the lighting in this shot very much.

Wow! The sharpness is amazing. I really thought this was a HUGE cactus. You took this from a great point of view. Very well seen.

This is the good place to post it so I can say according to TL decontration :
Gee! Its ET's fingers, I knew he was in Cyprus, but does not look to be its usual color, should he be sick ?

It would have been on TE, I would have say :
Look good as a composition whith these colors and shapes. A bit too much lost space (should have cut at the top) But mainly the POV an DOF here offers a high cactus and a lovely landscape. Sharpness helps in the texture. This is a real Cactus.

On TN :
For a botanical shot I suggest a bit more focussed on the catus to blur the background.
Any way the subject is interesting and I suggest a visit to http://www.arizonacactus.com/ to have a good Idea of what cactus are. And yours is one.

Compliments

Looked like any other arizona cactus shot, until I read your note, now I'm smiling ear to ear! What an amazing eye for detail to even think of this. I'm very impressed, so clear and sharp, the strangest "cactus" I've ever seen. Excellent photo!
