Hi David

I love this shot. The colors are sublime especially the warm golden color that makes the cactus glow. The bird really completes the shot.

Hi David,

Imagine that, being able to capture such a saguaro on a walk. I had to go on holiday to see them.
Lovely capture here and nice presentation.
