DSS 109 - Close-ups

I know it's late, but what do you all think of this?

Old Man Cactus1

It's very sharp (no pun intended). But i'm not sure about the comp. It leaves me trying to adjust it. I think I might like to see the whole cactus centered if you are going to use a square crop.

Colors, lghting and sharpness are good.

I actually like that off centered feeling, maybe even with a bit more open space to the side...

Thanks to you both for your input.

I tried a couple of different crops and I ended up with this one because I liked how the main focus was where I thought it should end up, and I kind of liked how the lighting was in the background. For me it gave it a bit more depth.

When I tried to center it there were just so many old man white hairs it kind of lost its central focus for me.
