Cactus Blossom

For Roberta

Outstanding. Wonderful job lighting and composition.

Fantastic! The background is great - very unobtrusive. However, the blossom, especially the right-hand edge, could have had more illumination IMO.

Beautiful. Rich colors, nice lighting.

Superb.

Well my friend, I think your other version of the Christmas Cactus is better. I say this because I've never seen the blossom in nature in this position. Other than that, this photograph is technically a masterpiece.

Thank you Walter, excellent observation. I rotated the image because I liked the diagonal line it created through the frame from bottom left through top right.

I stand corrected. Artistic license is as valid a tool as it is a valuable asset.
