I took this photo getting low to the ground because I liked how the Saguaro arm framed the desert landscape.

Cool shot. The light is pretty harsh but that's the reality of the desert. I wish there were more of a main focus inside the "frame"

Really nice sky and a good composition. If anything, I'd prefer to see a little bit more room on the left. The bend in that saguaro is just a touch too close to the edge of the frame. Overall, very nice photo!

Nice framing and your image gives one a sense of the harshness of the desert.

Great idea, but I think the subject cactus is too small in the frame to command attention. If you moved back and used a longer lens, you might be able to accomplish that. Also, on my dark monitor here at work, the frame cactus is mostly a silhouette. I'll view it again at home, so I might have to eat my words on that.
Honestly, I like the concept and it would be fun to explore the possibilities at this location.

Update: I do eat my words. The exposure on the foreground cactus looks fine (lousy work monitor).
