Wendell - The DOF is magnificent. The background, especially the yellow and green stripes the arch to the flower, sets the stage for the cactus. The side angle shows the flower very nicely. Well done! Thad

Great work, Wendell. The background looks like a two-tone rainbow.

"I'm never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don't do any thing. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don't even do that any more." -
Dorothy Parker (1893-1967)
This is excellent espcially your DOF or more precisely in this shot I'd say bokeh - really nicely done.

So very lovely, Wendell! I especially like how the cactus bloom is drinking up the sunshine, and what looks like a gorgeous rainbow in the background! Beautiful clarity and colours too!

*Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. ~Scott Adams*
Welcome to my world of cactus flowers. I recognize the bloom and the cactus. Up until a few years ago I kept a cactus garden and a succulent garden. About 2000 thorns in my fingers later, I ripped out the offending cacti. I still have a few, but these buggers are downright dangerous. When you're a klutz like me, the last thing you need is a cactus garden.
Your shot of the bloom has fabulous clarity and excellent depth of field. I have a tough time with these bright colors on cloudless California days; so nice work on keeping the flower from looking radioactive. Excellent blurred background but I can't make out what was back there. Bit of advice...if you have a cactus garden, don't garden in the nude. And make sure you look behind you before you bend over to remove a weed.
