Another from the Mohave desert. I think it's the skeletal remains of a Cholla cactus, still standing beside it's neighbour, the young Saguaro. The Saguaro can surviv to two hundred years.

Your choice of the B&W is a good choice for this well composed, and interesting capture. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Nice B/W, you even got the cactus to "glow" towards the top. Nice one Doug.

B/W does fit this one very good Doug. Especially the death part of the desert. Do I detect a small trace of cloning tracks?

A nicely composed b/w scene, Doug. Good details and lighting in the photo.

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
