   It’s amazing how beautiful the cactus flowers are when looking at the plant.

   the sepia makes it more delicate I think, I like that effect Caryn

   Hey Caryn:

   Wow…I really like this pic. The black and white not only makes the floral bit of the cactus look more delicate than it would in color, but the contrast of how bright I know cactus flowers to generally be and the black & white is very cool as well. Really nice.

    @Jani, Ha! Well, let me respectfully suggest you do not touch an actual cactus! Unless you’re careful, at least…

    I like very much the framing and the b&w tonality

    A fine close up of this unusual (to me) cactus flower. Excellent detail and nice range of tones in this one. Well done.

    This is really unusual looking, and the treatment highlights that.

    Thanks! I had a lot of fun playing around with this one, trying to see what would highlight the shape of the flower and the thorns. It took a bit, but I finally settled on the sepia treatment.
