This is great... the lighting and shadows cast on this cactus are quite nice... my only critique on this image is that I would have preferred to see a little less darkness across the bottom of the frame. I think that a slightly higher camera angle would have made two improvements here... first, it would have removed the dark band across the bottom of the frame... secondly, it would have kept the top of the cactus from being so close to the top edge of the frame. It is a little too close for comfort at the top... a little breathing room there would be nice :) = 8 - jmsetzler

Comment by mormongirl:
the lighting in this photo makes it appealing to the eye more than the texture but it is a great shot and the lighting is what makes the texture stand out. great job!

I love the lighting on this. It is simple, and easy to look at. Not so easy to touch, though. :-) karmat
