| This picture is wonderful, I saw it in the comment chain, so I decided to voice my applause. I wonder if clouds in the thin whispy range would look good on this. I am not at all saying it would make it better, I just wonder. The way it stands is beautiful, I was just wondering if it would be possible to get more depth out of the background. |

| I Like it!! Of course I am a bit partial living in Tucson and all. The only thing I would do is crop from the bottom leaving the chunk of jumping cactus at the bottom and the tip to the left of the saguaro. I may be new to photography but THAT is Sonoran Desert. |

| I like the composition of the image and the subject. There is still some detail to see in the cactus and foreground which is nice. Something about the sky bothers me, and I think it's the tone of the gray...it's a little flat and uninteresting, and the same color as much of the clouds. Maybe some more processing to separate those tones and make the sky pop from the image just a little more would make this good pic even better. |

| I really like this shot. I do believe that it could use some lightening up in the foreground to bring out that plant life down there...my eye is really drawn to those plants and some PS work would fix that right up, I think. |

| Seems like you're undecided if you want it to be a silhouette or not. I think you should have exposed for the sky, and lost the shadow detail. Contrast seems a bit washed out. I don't think the silhouettes at the bottom of the cactus are simple and striking enough for the composition to be a real winner. I'd play around with duotones to bring a little more mood to this b&w. |
