I like this one a lot. Very well done. But a suggestion: clone the top of that cactus down a bit. Having it almost touch the top of the image is distracting. Bring it down to about 1/3 of the way from the top. I bechta it helps composition. Just a thought. Very well done as it stands.

Thanks Christian. I took this in Tucson. It's monsoon season and the clouds have been beautiful lately.

Thanks Aaron. On my way to shoot for the mega challenge, I shot this out my car window.

Beautiful shot, Dan. I agree with Jeff though. The cactus needs a bit more growing room. Deserts are great places to shoot, eh?

Agree with the other posters that the cactus should have a little more room on top, but still... great photo! Love the clouds and the silhouette against a cool (as in cold colors) background, as opposed to a warm background like most silhouettes I see.

Thanks Jeff, appreciate the coaching. I'll go back and see what I can do.

Thanks Joel and Ron. I will work on it.

Best I could do with less crop:
