Photographer’s Note

These Saguaro cactus caught my from the side of the road. I was amazed at the progression from small to large. I had never seen that before in my 8 years of living in Arizona. Thanks for looking.

Hello Jimmy,

je trouve le cadre un peu trop important à mon goût.
Il détourne l'attention des éléments de l'image.
J'aurais recentré le cadrage sur les cactus et donné un peu moins d'importance au cadre.
J'ai réalisé un WS afin de te montrer mon idée.

A+

Hi Jimmy
Well seen. This was a good choice for B&W. I think I would have added some gradient fill much like the WS as it improves the sky a lot. Welcome to TE.

Hello Jimmy,
The three trees are beautifully positioned in this west u.s. scene. The b&w rendition makes it appear nostalgic ala old movie poster. A mighty fine posting. Cheers! Danilo

Hi Jimmy,

Got your messages from my shots, so I thought I would take a look at what you are putting up - and liked what I saw in the first photo that was displayed! This is great, I mean the frame is a little over the top, but the photograph is tremendous. You took advantage of a great opportunity here and good eye for seeing it, too. I like the b&w conversion and your point of view was perfect. Looking forward to some more!

Have a great one!

Hi Jimmy,
The centring of this photo is really interesting. I do not know if you have Lucky Luke's comic strip in the USA, but by looking these at 4 cactus, I think of 4 Dalton Brothers of this story.
The quality is not in fantastic but it is an old photo and you probably made a scan, it explains the noise and the small spots in the sky.
If you have a software of treatment of the images, you can improve the old photos easily.
Happy to know your gallery!
Diane
