Photo: Reddish Yellow Cactus Flower

Here is a photo of a brilliant cactus flower.

I changed the exposure to bring out the yellow and orange highlights in the flower; otherwise it was an all red flower.

This image looks like a x-ray of a flower and cactus.

Get in the festive spirit by checking out travel photos of holidays in Santa Fe, New Mexico at Viva la Voyage!

i love the way the translucency of the petals is exposed in this treatment.

This is certainly a welcome break from all of the snow in the northern part of the northern hemisphere this week. Pretty shot.
