I'm not sure what kind of cactus this is, taken at a local botanical garden. It was late in the day and I liked the back lit look on these prickly ones.

Kathy, many cactus scenes can benefit nicely from a back light condition such as you've photographed here. I have a few from years past myself. I'm not sure at all what flavor of cacti this is, but the needles look like very fine hair. The reddish tops look like lit candles. The contrasting DOF from from to rear on the scene works well also. Nice work here.......

Kathy, the back lit glow of the cacti looks great. The repeated pattern also adds interest. This looks like a fun place/time to explore different comps.

Kathy: Well seen and superbly captured. The back light makes the shot IMO. >=))>
