Wow Don! These are precious! Unique, imaginative, and totally beautiful! They have that uplifting feeling!
My only nit is that in first one, border patrol needs to clean up the hot spots and areas of light at very edges.....there are some hot pixels and bright areas at very bottom and top right.....maybe intended....but in my view, border better left dark.....cheers!

Boy, Don, these are some really first-rate productions. Your growth as a photographer has been fun to watch.

Take care,

Taz, Tom, thank you both very much. Taz, I can see that your right about the hot spots, and I'll tend to that.

Tom, I certainly hope that I'm growing. Part of what I love about photography is that there's always more to learn.

Wow o Wow. The saguaro with their silver lining is beautiful and especially in black and white. Always a favorite of mine. Just enough arms are lit! Me being one who loves saguaro... love it. Imagine on a metal print.

the second is cool. the stars make it.. To be creative... choose a few leaves and to make stand out?

Cornflake

I appreciate your comments, AnnaMaria. On the second one, I wanted to avoid having a particular center of interest, and I think that's still my inclination..
