The low angle is really dramatic. Nice shot.

I've always thought of a cactus as being more prickly than sticky. Good composition and nice blue sky.

would be better without the shadow on the cactus in my opinion, maybe taken a different time of day or from a different angle. 5

Interesting perspective. I wasn't sure if I would use the term sticky or thorny (or spikes) for a cactus so I looked for it on the web, and LOL, there is a store called "Sticky Situation" who is a grower of succulents. As a photo, I would prefer to see a more interesting composition other than the centered one here. But the perspective is interesting!

The color in the sky is great. I like the blue. My only issue with this is that the lighting is just harsh, as if it were taken close to noon. The perspective and aspect are good, especially if there is no cropping done.

Very theme-appropriate. Nice angle, colors are vibrant and appealing.
Great job.
