Dancing Saguaros, a photo from Arizona, West

Photographer's Note

The great Saguaro cacti of Oregon Pipe Cactus National Monument - on the Arizona / Mexico border.

If I can find them again, I want to re-shoot this without clipping the top. But it probably won't be the same. I used a polarizer here.

I personally don't mind about the cropped top.
what's more important to me it's the peculiar graphic effect given by the curious shape of this plant, and I like how you set the two branches at left in diagonal.
The light is very intense and fine here and together with the deep blue sky (thanks to the polarizer) the image is very vivid and has a strong visive impact.
Good the inclusion of the other "dancer" too.

Best regards,
Donato

Hello Dave,
A fine ballet of the pricky plants well captured in a pleasant composition. and well profiled against the perfectly blue sky.
