Comment by HBunch:
The colors seem a bit muted to me. I don't really know what the natural colors of this are, but it does seem a bit bland. The angle and framing/cropping are good, I like how the subject comes in from the left. The focus seems a bit soft. with a very sharp subject like this, I would prefer a really sharp focus. ~Heather~

Those branches look like a double- or triple-link chain -- very cool-looking!

Comment by tomzinho:
focus seems a bit soft and perhaps a little too tightly cropped on the head. good choice of b&w.

Not sure I would have opted for bw on this one, but perhaps the colours were too similar to give the effect you wanted, I would be curious to see the colour version.

I've never seen this kind of cactus before. Nice composition, maybe a little teak on the saturation could have richened those greens more, otherwise a top pic.

oversharpened to make up for lack of focus or camera shake?

I'm not especially keen on this border - I feel it drags the eye away a little.

Don't take this the wrong way, but the way the colors of this photo are and the way its almost sharp makes me think that the marlboro man from the '70s is firing up a red sitting by the campfire 10 feet away from this exact cactus. Good texture on the thorns and I like the DOF. It really reminds me of that 70's look of color photography though.
