Lovely. The cactus looks great in b/w, and the soft shape of the blooms is a great contrast to the spines of the cactus.

I would give this a ten, if only it was a Barca shirt with Messi on it :)

This is gorgeous. The control of the light is perfect, highlighting the bright flowers just enough to prevent the image from being swallowed by all the black.

There's something about this that I like. The low key lighting is great.

Awesome lighting, great form. I think this is something Weston would have photographed had he encountered it! Great blacks and shadow, you did well with limiting the highlights. One thing I see that was not indicative of a Weston photo is the use of DoF. You used a shallower DoF than what I have seen in the Weston works that I have viewed. I think he would have shot this at f8, f11, f22, somewhere around there. I do really like this!
