Eye of The Beholder

background is a bit busy, wonder what it would look like if you eliminated the background by shooting this a night with an off camera flash to the side, or did a long night exposure and painted light with a flashlight from the side so as not light the background -5

Fallen Angel

I gave this an 8 and am surprised it did not finish much higher. Technically well composed, great exposure for the challenge, beautiful blue sky. I can only assume the majority of voters have never had the opportunity to behold the view of a majestic cactus, so they just did not appreciate the grandeur of your image. To bad for them, at least you and I just love it.
