Cactusses, a photo from Netherlands Antilles, Other

Photographer's Note

There are a lot of cactusses on the island of Cura鏰o and there are a lot of species too. From huge candle shaped cactusses until 6 meters high to little ballshaped ones like this one here.
In the workshop I'll post a yellow flowering cactus and here you see the top a a cactus ball

Mooi Gerrit, heel erg mooi. Dit zullen de bloemen en stekels van die catussen zijn waar de vogel op zat. Scherpte en kleur is goed...prima werk.

Hi Gerrit,
Wow! What colouring has this image, is a setting very well seen, with great detail and that has a great graphism.
It is a nice photo, has an artistic and abstract touch at the same time, fantastic.

Bonjour Gerrit,
assez abstrait et tr鑣 graphique, pourquoi ne pas parler de g閛m閠rique.
Un festival de couleurs chatoyantes et s閐uisantes.
Un cadrage rapproch� qui convient parfaitement.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hi Gerrit,
A striking, high impact design that you have captured so well in this close up view. The large format is apropos. The hues and tones blend so well together here, and there is a strange graphism. Nature holds such surprises of symmetry! Very fine work, Gerrit. The best of the holiday season...later.
John
