GREETINGS from ARIZONA: from my photo expedition to you!!As many cactus vegetation in Arizona desert is praying for that gold rain...this one is not EXCEPTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The saguaro National Park of Arizona has been described as the monarch of the Sonoran Desert, as a prickly horror, as the supreme symbol of the American Southwest, and as a plant with personality. It is renowned for the variety of odd, all-too-human shapes it assumes, shapes that inspire wild and fanciful imaginings. Giant saguaro cacti, unique to the Sonoran Desert, sometimes reach a height of 50 feet in this cactus forest, which covers the valley floor, rising into the Rincon and West Tucson mountains. Since 1933 this extraordinary giant cactus has been protected within Saguaro National Park. Preserved along with it are many other members of the Sonoran Desert community--other cacti, desert trees and shrubs, and animals. In lushness and variety of life the Sonoran Desert far surpasses all other North American deserts

Awesome lighting! I really like your use of the blue-gold polarizer here. It makes the cactus look like it's made of gold, and creates a beautiful contrast between it and the sky. The composition is nice, and I like the title.
Regards,
Ryan.
