    This is one of many shot during the Cartier Polo event with Monica Belucci

    The composition works well. The board on the back of the cactus is a nice touch. Even how the clouds form towards the plant works. I would like to see a deeper blue, more saturated sky but you have a very nice image as is. Good find Marcus.

    I think the contrast is too high for the cactus although it does work for the sky.

    Nice composition, I think the cactus in the lower left really adds a lot here.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    MB, thanks... I was trying to just get the cactus alone with the sky but realized it lacked depth... or at least something interesting...

    Guess i was right ;)

    Thanks again,

    Marc
