Getting to shoot a little more... some from the Botanical Gardens

[manzico]

I'm managing to find a little more time to go out and shoot again. Here are some from a recent quick trip to the botanical gardens:

#1: This one I've shot before... I just checked. Last time I photographed it was in 2008 and its interesting that you can see some changes

#4: Amazingly, I had to tone down the saturation a bit on this one... that's how bright some cactus flowers can get

You just have to find those little parts that work for you. After all, I live in a desert so our botanical gardens tend to have a lot of sand and rocks.

I really like the colors in #4. What species of cactus was that flower on?
I also really liked the composition on #9. Have you ever shot at the desert museum in Tucson? My girlfriend is there at UA for her PhD and we made the mistake of spending there without the camera. Such a mistake!

Thanks for the comment. I think that pink flower is on a type of barrel cactus. As for the Desert Museum, I've shot there many times, although I haven't gone out there to take photos in a while. I have a gallery of images from the museum here.
