Wow, what beauty! The composition & lighting here is wonderful. Did you get any close-ups of the blooms? Would love to see 'em, hint hint...

Very nice isolation.

Beautiful kind of cactus. The dark background made the beauty of the cactus float!
Very nice photo!

Beautiful against the dark background. Amazing how they're arranged. Like some sort of code.

Love the way these are tall and all in a row. They're really pretty. Never seen such a cactus before.

You given these cactus blooms a personification. Reminds me of people on a streetcorner bus stop
Pepe Zyman13-Nov-2005 00:31
I'm sure they don't know you :^)

Composition is super.
Coleen Perilloux Landry13-Nov-2005 00:15
Lovely. It is almost as though you purposely arranged them this way.

Really like the dark background - it sets the cactus and flowers off wonderfully. Very nice.
KimKong12-Nov-2005 23:00
I am not a big fan of cactus, but I must admit they look fabulous with flowers.
Very nice photo!
