de rigueur

along Route 93, Arizona

it had to be done...visiting Arizona, it is virtually 'de rigueur' to photograph a saguaro, they are such a local icon

Nikon D7000
Nikkor 18-200mm - 1/250s f/14.0 at 26.0mm iso125 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Nothing wrong with a nice capture of a scene graced with a Saguaro. Of course, I am a bit biased.

The size of some of these are amazing. I like your POV of this sentinel of the desert and it's new neighbors, the power lines. Beautifully composed with excellent lighting and vivi colors David. Yes, you are required to take one shot of a saguaro cactus before being allowed to leave Arizona. I would love to be there right now. V+
