Big Bertha Cactus Bloom
This bloom was taken as the sun was setting creating a glow on the bloom while casting a shadow across the background. A unique lighting situation that took 2 hours of anticipation (not sure if the angle was going to work out) and waiting for the exact moment to take the shot.
