Critiques are always welcome.

Overall I like it. Might be a bit soft though.

Agreed.
I like this simple composition.
Well done.

Very dramatic. The sunstar is a nice touch. Agree also on the softness -- but it's not a big deal, the basic composition is good.

Thanks abraxas, SympL, dcclark. I'll check the sharpening but I suspect part of it--not necessarily all--is that saguaros at that distance are always going to look a little soft because of the spines covering their exterior.

I identified with this saguaro.
