Cactus in the Rain

[rt88]

I thought this was a nice photo of cactus in the desert. It was raining and the light was fine!

Any comments/critiques would be welcome....

Thanks, RT88

I get a lot of fog where I live, and it does wonders for flowers.

This is a very nice cactus scene indeed!

Its a fine shot, the colors and lighting are effective. :thumb I might have tried to give it a little more punch by applying curev or tinkering with the saturation (i have never been subtle). :D

Very nice colors for cactus :thumb It reminds me a little bit of East Coast Fall color :clap

Like Harry, I would have "turned it up a notch". A little bit of curves maybe, and a touch of tabassco, I mean saturation.....lol

See, that's what happens when your eyes get old? They crave those bright colors and high contrast :rofl It helps us determine what those blurry things in the pictures really are....LOL

J/K Nice shot and thanks for sharing it with us,

It was so early in the morning and not much light. There was no way to capture raindrops. Besides, they are so small ...LOL...Here's a shot taken just a couple minutes earlier you may like.....Rain and all

Harry and Steve, Thanks for your input. I added a little saturation to the picture and here it is below. I'm not sure what "curves" is. I suspect it is something in Photoshop. I am new to the digital world. Film has been my passion.... But he digital world is something I need to learn........
Thanks again......
