Hi Brenda, great photo. This perspective on saguaro's is my favorite. I really like the color you captured as well. :-)

You get too close to these guys and you're not going to like it. You did get just close enough and sharp, and it's a super photograph.

I was just in Arizona, and I swear that I took a picture of a cactus and almost entered it wth the exact same title. Great minds think alike. Nice shot

Another contestant had a slightly better execution of the same idea.

Pointing the camera up a tree doesn't strike me as interesting or requiring much imagination, as evidenced by the number of people who chose to do it for this challenge. In this case, the fact that it's a cactus only makes it marginally more interesting to me. At least shooting at a different time of day that offered a more interesting quality of light might have helped. Sorry, 3.

A new take on an often shot cactus type. Works for me. Maybe needs a bit of darkening.

This is wonderful! It looks like my third grade teacher always admonishing her pupils to do good! Fits the challenge very well and the title is humorous. Clarity is outstanding btw.
