Hello stefano,
Brilliantly captured from the top. I like the perspective of this cactus with details of the flower at the top. Very well seen and very well done.
Regards,
Jusni

Hello Stefano,

Interesting point of view using very well the dark sand background to put in evidence the cactus and their shapes and their needles.

Ciao Stefano, foto geniale...veramente strane e ben costruita, con la terra nera che sembra far galleggiare i cactus a forma di palla, come pianeti tutti uguali nell'universo!
molto bella.
ciao

Ciao Stefano
I like the composition and the soft colours.
when I saw the small version I though they were some kind of marzipan truffles :)
Very nice light and lots of details
cheers

Hey there Stefano

I just read a comment of yours and I thought I can check your gallery. I was wondering what are these balls, quite unusual approach, getting close to them but still far enough not to be a macro shot. Impressive indeed, I'm glad I stopped by:)

bongiorno stefano

quite a trek-earthy sight and something i have not ever seen in real life (or picture, for that matter). these folks are quite fotogenic in my opinion. and the black background serves very well to bring out their colors.

thanks for sharing!
