Now that's what I call crammed and jammed! Looks like Chinese New Year, with a bodacious, "in your face" riot of colors. Just great, Gerald! I might be tempted to tighten it up a bit at the top. A choice I would look at, anyway.devildevil

Gerald: Ditto what Phil said. A color junkie's delight. >=))>

Gerald, that is one prolific cactus!  I love the gorgeous colors and the inclusion of both buds and flowers in full bloom.  Agree with the others about possibly cropping a little off the top.  Very nice!

A very nice composition with good color, Gerald.  Assuming you were using a tripod, a bit more dof would be nice as some of the flower centers are a bit soft.
