 I wanted to capture natural symmetry. When seen closeup cactus have symmetric beauty.

With rain this Spring the desert has turned green everywhere. This is when desert succulents, like this Suguaro cactus shown here, stock up on water and cactus have their best color.

I almost submitted this exact same photo! Good job. Can I ask why you chose to position it sideways?

Spiky! Don't get too close. Well seen. Might have been interesting to see a shot along the rows of spines?

I like this photo very much. The balance of the lines of spines with the green is very good. Even top and bottom are even.

I really like this photo. The light is a bit uninviting, but then again, so are the spines! Very nice perspective; I like how the rows suggest symmetry.
