Imaginative lighting, nice crop. Some of the highlights are a bit too bright. Overall an outstanding image.

This is my second favorite this week... I love the greens and the lighting. Not to mention the red contrast..

Awesome! The lighting is perfect, and your crop with all the negative space on the left gives this image a "wow" effect.

That's nice. You must one of those spot-light type of lights. I really like it. I would zoomed a little more on the plant (left less black area).

This is quite nice. Framing works well, nice use of 1/3 rule. Nice negative space. Color - seems heavily saturated. Focus good. Challenge - met. 6 Swash

Great idea for the shot - the cactus reminds me of a lone actor on stage. Good colours too but could have done with a little more crispness in the focus. 7.
