This is a cactus flower that I shot by the side of FM 359 in front of one of our local feed stores. I took a lot of great photos of this cactus, but liked this one the best. The natural back-lighting gives it a veiled, transparent look. The only processing I did was to blacken the background. The spines really competed with the flower
