The towering, many armed Saguaro is a cliche image of Arizona, but it is our state flower. This is a different view the saguaro, taken in Macro mode at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix, Arizona. Picture was resized and sharpened in IrfanView.

I commend you on capturing both the spirit of the challenge (something about where you live) and a truly artistic photograph. Since I find only "good" in this picture it is difficult to suggest any improvements. Perhaps a 1-degree tilt to the right might be helpful.
I like this close up - my eye hungers for a greener color contrast but this may not be true - the sense is strong and would be great in a composite of some kind along with the western vista - great shot! 8 sgtpepper6344
Very cool crisp shot. I don't think I would have known what I was looking at, though, had it not been for your title. Still, a good perspective of the Saguaro.
