A few shots taken about 10 minutes north of my house.

1) Macro, Saguaro Cactus

2) Same Saguaro

3) Cholla Cactus

4) Cholla/Monsoon Sky

5) Monsoon Storm
I was trying to get some killer lightning shots, but found killer mosquitos instead :irked:

so only got this one shot

6) Barrel Cactus in Bloom - this thread needed at least some color :mrgreen:

they're all great, but that second one is really really great.

nice work

some great shots here!
Love the rows of spikes in the second one. The third one could use a bit of work on exposure and contrast levels. Think the sky would really pop well with a bit of work.

Love the feeling in #5 just feel the FG is bit dark.
love the perspective on the barrel cactus; good DOF.
Nice work :thumbup:

Thanks everybody! I appreciate all your comments especially the more critical ones. I pretty much agree with you on everything. I spent a little more time on the first two and like them more, that's why they're at the top.

Actually these all look lighter to me on my work computer, i'll have to adjust my monitor at home. Thanks again!
