Cactus Imagery

As we were leaving the desert, I spotted one of the cactus blooming. The blooms were prolific and as big as water lily blooms. I have never seen this before in our desert spot.I snapped with the only camera I had, my I-phone.

The original image was set against a solid blue sky. This is the result after playing with some textures from The Daily Texture. And, finally adding a quote.

Finding Blue

Sometimes when I walk, I choose one color to photograph. On this day, it was the color blue. I purposely arranged these berries in my favorite still life way with empty space to the left. It follows the rule of thirds by arranging the subject on one of the thirds lines. I like the bits of bocah in the background.
