The same saguaro appears in all four shots, photographed from different places on the same morning. Criticism would be appreciated. I have trouble with these kinds of images.

Interesting comps Don! Last one is rocking for me!

#2 is my favorite as I think the warm background colors really set off the saquaro. I like the abstract nature of #4. Is that with your infra-red camera? Nice set.

Taz, Wayne, thanks. Yes, the last is infrared. I worked up a black and white version of the last composition taken with my regular camera, and the infrared version was much more interesting.

A nice set. I like the warm light of 1, The pastel colors of 2, the IR and detail in 4. I would consider flipping 4 horizontally, just a thought. thumb

Thanks, Phil. I tried rotating 4 and it looked like a vertical shot that had been rotated, but the feedback is appreciated..

Very nice study of the cactus in good light, Don. #4 is very unique. It also reminds me of a certain Johnny Cash photo. https://iconicphotos.wordpress.com/2009/08/22/johnny-cashs-finger/

Thanks very much, Joel.

#4 is my favorite. I like the lighting and perspective (and B&W).
Johnny Cash?

#2 and #3 for me.

(The last is great, but stands on it's own, for the comparison, I like 2 and 3 over 1)

I like the sunlight on the plants in 1, but it's not enough to make the image for me, I feel a little bit cramped in the foreground under the saguaro, and the rest of the color is better on 2 and 3, plus, I think 2 and 3 show how beat up the cactus is more.

Thanks, JC. I've come to prefer number 2. There's nothing much wrong with number 1 but nothing much right with it, either.

#4 is fantastic!
