[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Two cacti, apparently back to back, & neither willing to budge. Is it a firearms duel at 10 paces? I liked the rule of thirds here. Taken outside the Pima County Courthouse. These are saguaro cactus plants, common throughout the American south west. They seem to be more common on hill tops than the flat land around Tucson.

Hello,

superbe cactuse, quelle belle forme ils ont, on dirait qu'un a des bras et veu attraper quelque chose, avec ce fond rose de la facade, splendide.

Merci et amitié

Nicou

Hi Chris,

you are right, it really seems like they are preparing for a duel. :) Very nice photo. It could be a poster for a western movie ahahaha. Well composed, nice colors and great sharpness.

Have a nice weekend,

Chris, This has me giggling. Who hasn't watched a western where there isn't a duel? That is exactly what I see in your photo. Humorous indeed. The architecture and facade of the building are beautiful. Interesting coloring of the building. I must get out west one day.

Hi Chris,
I like how you carefully composed this. The two cacti look splendid against the colors of Mexico. Boy - I'd like to visit the AZ desert when the wild flowers bloom on spring. You metered this well, there is good depth. Wishing you a great w/e.

Hello Chris,

Hi Chris,

The lighting of the cacti against the courthouse is very interesting and your title is perfect. Is it almost high noon? Good visualization.

Have a great weekend!

Best regards,
Werner

Rule of third???? Is this the humour part?

Hello Chris! Amazing composition. Dangerous cactus and cosy house. Nice delicate colours. Good contrast and sharpness. Original shot. Well done!

Annyeong haseyo ? Jules sunsaengnim,

안녕하세요? 줄스 선생님,

Your luxuriant imagination transformed two cacti into two gunman in western movie.
I really like the composition by using the rule of thirds.

좋은 사진, 항상 감사합니다.

Many Thanks for sharing and best regards,
Eungbong

Hi Chris,
Great idea for the Fridays's Theme and very good "example" (...)
It's fun: the second cactus with it's "pistol".
Great one, my dear.

merhaba dear Chris...
verynice shot and pov... A superb colors and detail..selamlar

Hello Chris,

Your title fits the shot (if you'll forgive the pun!) perfectly. I wonder how many would have seen what you are alluding to, without the title!
Great details captured with a sharp focus throughout.


Kind regards,
Bev :-)
