Great composition..love the tufts on the cactus. I've actually picked and eaten prickly pear...kinda good :) I'd love to see this in color.

Sepia is nice but how did it look in color. I think I would prefer it that way as it shows more warmth than the sepia.

Neat shot! I question the sepia, but it's not bad. Interesting view. 8 Swash

Nice midtones and texture rendering. Perhaps a real square cropping would have done it as well.

Excellent composition, as well as the execution. The tonal range is superb, and the detail is outstanding. You can almost feel the textures of each part of the subject. Perfect, congrats!

This is being at the right place at the right time. A once in a lifetime shot. Good photo. I would have cropped a good bit of the black sky off and "tried" to focus it on the level of the street. Hope this was a long zoom lens you used or you got mighty hot taking it. If long zoom, just not zoomed so closely. Even gotten more to each side, especially to the right. . Congratulations of being there at that time. Hope this does well for you. I'll give it a 7, especially for the event. PTL
