Some really nice symmetry in this image, Don, and I love all the gorgeous textures and small patterns. I think your contrast and brightness are just about perfect for this subject. This is the kind of image I could see on my wall. Every time you look at it, there’s something new to find. Very well done.

Yes! My wall too! I love the newer growth trying to edge it’s way past the older stuff, and the older stuff is SO interesting! Very well seen and presented!! Not even a tiny suggestion, except print and frame!

Dennis, Diane, thanks. :slight_smile:

This is way to COOL !!! The lines and tone just the entire image.

Thanks, Gill.

Don: What Dennis said! Great textures and so many varied forms and shapes. Well seen, composed, captured and presented. Most excellent. >=))>

Thanks, Bill.

Don, exquisite textures, shapes, and lines here, and the B&W is perfect. I’m in AZ for a few days more, and this helps me a lot to visualize images in the cactus we’re seeing. thanks!
Really sweet!

Thanks, Sandy. Enjoy your time in Arizona.
