I met the Echinopsis in the greenhouse near home and I portrayed soon its ephemeral beauty before fading.
D800E, Nikkor 200mm macro - f/19 and ISO 250
Thanks for your opinions and help.

Excellent work on the Echinopsis cactus. The eclipse darkening is an imaginative portrayal, yet you have managed it with fantastic detail and texture. One of your better offerings, Gigi!

Gigi: Aptly titled and superbly captured and presented. Exceptionally fine work. >=))>

I agree with the others, Gigi. I like the unique comp and dark bg, and the cactus flower is gorgeous.

An image sombre in character perfectly fitting the stage in the life of the flower, Gigi. The perspective, with the spines off centre in the distance, works beautifully.
