I like the different colors of the conversion here. You're getting all sorts of great images here, Barbara.

Nice lines, maybe a slight levels adjustment to tone down the bright whites and bring out the blacks more.

Comment by CNovack:
This composition has a very strong visual impact with the contre jour silhouette of the cactus. I love the 'silver' glint on the clouds just behind and to the right of the cactus; it gives this photo a little added dramatic punch. My critique is that the composition would have been far better had you composed the shot to include the full body of the cactus with a little portion of the ground plane. Showing the full cactus and the sun looming large behind it would increase the visual appeal and the dramatic effect.

Comment by MelonMusketeer:
The clouds are just right to get the size of the cactus to fit well with them. Did you shoot one with less dark space at the bottom? Excellent sunset shot, with classic desert clouds.

Nice looking silhouette and the gradient in the sky is pleasing to look at. To my anal mind, the cactus begs to be tilted slightly to the right.
