i like the idea, but the focus seems off, as if it needs a different perspective or a deeper dof.

Exceptional lighting and clarity/detail, though a tad unusual...

Unique idea.

Oh my goodness! I had a very similar idea for the "Green" challenge - only I was trying to use an avocado and I partially desaturated it (where I had "collected" the essence from). I never entered it though because it just ended up looking like a freaky food tampering shot! The cactus works! So cool to see someone have the idea and follow thru! 7

Nice lighting and detail.....are cacti healthful for you? Guess I'm uneducated in this area.

a tighter crop would have helped here.
