Cactus Flowers
I photographed these cactus flowers in a private
garden in Northern California a few years ago.
I made a background layer and applied a gaussian
blur filter in photoshop. As always I'm interested
in your comments. Thanks in advance.

Always amazed me how cacti can have such a very soft and delicate look to what can be a formidable fortress other wise. Another nicely captured image, Robert. :cool:

Very beautiful Robert. Excellent processing. I really like this cluster of blossoms and the vertical arrangement works well - and I don't mind that the blossom on the left is cut off.

Nice work.

Very cool Robert! Reminds me of lotus flowers.

Nice arrangement of flowers and processing. My eye bounces around the image quite nicely never lingering too long in any one spot. Nice work!
