i've given myself a personal challenge to become more abstract with my film (not digital) and was looking on dp for inspiration...then i found this! this is really quite something your tonal range, lighting and composition are spot on! well done!

Has a very abstract feel to it. Good detail on the cactus leaves (if that's what they are called).
