Pretty desert scene! Nice sky and interesting elements. A bit of fill flash would have eliminated the shadow below the cactus.

Fine showing of the blooming cactus and it's surroundings. The cloudy sky adds a lot. An image to be proud of.

Eirini, very nice image. I like your processing, good natural colors from the desert. I'm with Harley on this one, clone out the contrails and you have a winner.

Hi Eirini,

I really like this photo lots! An excellent contrast between the beautiful colorful flowers and the stark harsh environment of the dessert. The skeletal cactus in the BG reminds me of the Grim Reaper

I would agree with cloning the contrails out. The shadow beneath the cactus is fine and I'd leave it!

Very well seen and composed!!

i like the colors and comp. of the image. The sky is great. The only thing that caught my attention is the two jet trails in the middle top of the sky. There is nothing you could do about it, but it takes of the natural look away.

I like the elements and the composition, the light and the processing. I agree with cloning out the jet trails if you can, and then this would be an image to be hung on a wall, for sure.

You're really getting good at balancing the light in these images, Eirini. This is real easy to look at and just enjoy.
