Cool pattern - I've never heard of cacti on lava before.

Hi

A nicely composed shot – although I would ideally have prefer a slightly sharper look for the frontal subject. But that’s just my tastes speaking, and this is looking good

All the best
Matthew

Neat image. I like the varied colors. Wish the up front cacti were sharp as well.
Enjoy viewing
