    Default Messing with a cactus??

    I went to the local conservatory today and one of my faves was a shot straight down on a barrel cactus. I liked the look/symmetry. I was going to move the blue sign but staff did not agree. Once I put the pic on screen I thought it I could snazz it up a little with some vignetting (something I've never tried before this). I think it came out kinda neat! ('cept for the sign.) next time i will wait until I'm alone.

    it did turn out neat. Too bad about the rigid staff. I wonder if it's possible to clone that out?

    What a cool pattern. Too bad the staff was so uncooperative that they couldn't temporarily move the sign while you take the picture.

    Very nicely done Aubintbay. The vignetting does do it well, even with the sign.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

    love the angle on this...

    did a very quick clone in the shop, you could probably do better if you spent longer working on it.

    Thank you all! I had a bit of fun with this.
    Richard.... nice PP. Makes a big difference without the bright blue sign in there!
