Thanks everyone for the comments. I have been a bit disappointed that there were no comments for the longest time. I didn't know what to think of this. It has an attraction to me, with the sharp foreground and cactus barbs leading into the center of this huge plant. This is the color of this plant. The vary in color from a solid grey to this shade of teal. However, I understand everything each of you has said and hope to reshoot and try again. That is what makes this website so great. I have read things here that I never thought of.

Thank to all.
