whoa, I've never seen a cactus like that before. I like the colors in this shot, however, the composition doesn't do much for me.

I was just in Glendale two weeks ago, I'll be moving to Peoria in January. I can't wait.

Well I gotta say I too have never seen a cactus like that either :huh
It looks like some kind of abstract statue, nice to see you posting again :D
Thanks for sharing this very strange cactus image........ Skippy (Australia)

It seems a little bright did use flash?

If you did it sure brought out the scroll detail of this cactus. :thumb

Thanks for the input. I do agree that the composition could have been better, but the colors were too good to pass up.

Let me know when you get into town :thumb Would love to get together with another dgrinner :):

Yep had to use a flash to brighen up the saguaro otherwise it would have been a silhouette. I set the camera to rear synch too so that it would pick up the colors in the sky. Thanks for looking :D
