		| | If you want to fix this image even though you have the blue I would say mask the back ground out and then change the color saturation to a percentage that is a lot less so the cactus stands out again. I mean you have blurred it out the background well and the cactus is a nice thing. Yeah so desaturate the blue maybe even blurr it just a bit more and you will have a great image. The foreground is already sharp or go back and find it again and take away the blue entirely. Thank you for you image. |

		| | I respect these damn things! During a backpacking trip in Big Bend NP I was trying to take a picture of a wind carved tree and crOUCHED down on one of these guys trying to get a good shot. Not fun! 
 Great texture though, nice detail!

		| | shame about the blue corner - detracts my eye too much from the subject which is beautifully focussed |

		| | Very nice shot of the cactus - clean and well defined. I'm really turned off by that strip of bright blue at the right, it gives the picture a very unnatural look that is out of keeping with the message. |

		| | Great title - you've almost written the story that goes with this fine picture, very NG.  Minor suggestion: tone down the hot blue in upper right. |

		| | The blue doesn't distract. A novel idea: the kind National Geographic is looking for. Interesting subject framed in an interesting way. 10 |
