Very nice Isabel. You did well not to blow out the reds, they often are. The detail is still there in them. Nice depth of field.
Jim – High praise indeed. It was over my head, or almost, with only the sky behind. Maybe that helped.
Makes me feel warm just to look at your photo! I think I’d like it hanging on my wall of my sewing room these cold January days.
Alison – Holler if you want a full-res (I might still have it!).
Cactus flowers are so lush, in great contrast to their dry environment – a celebration of life! Beautiful photo.
Judith – Thanks! We see very few of the flowers in our winter sojourn. Most arrive after we leave. But I’m pretty sure I don’t want to brave their spring temps just to see more cactuses in bloom!
