I find this photo to be both visually appealing, and well composed. I absolutely love this photo, and the black and white looks wonderful. Also I think the black border adds to the photo.l Excellent macro! This photo meets the challenge and manages to be beautiful at the same time. No criticism here. -10

What excelent focus and clarity. The angle and framing/cropping are very nice. I think that the lighting was also very good for this shot. You have done an excelent job with this. One of my favorite this week. Good luck in the challenge.

challenge met. nice composition, it looks as if the fruit (?) is holding up the leaf above it. the long shadows work well here because i always associate cacti with hot climates and expect the sun to be beating down. i wonder what made you go for the sepia tones. possibly the colors in the background. w/out actually seeing it i can't say i'd prefer color, but i'm wondering whether i would...

Interesting subject and color. Composition works pretty well for me, but the shot is not high impact for me emotionally. 8
