Cave Creek Saguaro
I thought I would throw in a change of pace. I shot this last January north of Cave Creek, AZ.
50D, 1/500 @ f/7.1, ISO 200, 70-200 @ 70

We don't get many of those here in South Arkansas! Makes the air seem a bit drier just to view them. Nice comp and colors.

Thanks Daniel, I appreciate the comment. Is some areas, the Saguaros are all over the place, but it is tough to achieve a good comp for some reason. Maybe because I'm just an inexperienced cactus shooter !!!

I think you have an interesting composition here. If you have an opportunity to take this in more favorable lighting it would make a lot of difference.

I love the saguaros! You picked some great ones with really long limbs (branches, arms - what are those things :smile: ). The triple composition is nice and the foreground saguaro that goes on forever gets a lot of scale from those.
Thanks for sharing, I love the desert!
