lovely soft light and colors in this cactus shot - but the image really does not grab my attention very much - but i am sure it will look great printed

The composition in this image keeps me looking back. For my tastes, some additional post processing could add extra push to take it to my next level. Slightly more color separation via levels, and a tad more sharpness would raise my vote even more. This is a good, solid entry in this challenge, especially as a floral entry. Cheers!
