Nice. I like the warm colors that make it feel desert-y..

I agree, the light on the cactus is gorgeous. I like your composition, with lots of cloud-filled sky.

How big would that cactus be?

um... medium size?

Seriously though, the first "arm" on the right was over my head, so I'd guess about 15-20 feet, 4.5 - 6 meters. It's pretty average really, you can see the arms have just begun to grow. i'll find a bigger one next time and stand next to it for reference

i guess I should have left the dog in a couple of compositions for scale... i kept yelling at her that she was wasting my good light.

Only if the dog would hike his leg. I miss those majestic beauties. Great shot.

Looks warm- too much extreme on this side of the desert right now.

Could have used a sombrero wearing bandito taking a siesta for scale (IMHO).

Nice shot.
