Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

A Curiously Strange Cactus
This is not posted for review and critique, but rather because Killakoala and some of the others especially like cacti and I thought this one was quite interesting. It's common name is the Easter Lily Cactus (see inset sign). To me parts of it rather look like molded plastic.
Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
I love cactii Steve, and have a bit of a collection myself. This is an interesting looking beasty. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Greg - Some of these you just can't walk past without clicking your shutter at least once. They are fascinating.
I wasn't sure about the plural of cactus, but the Webster's from my college days gives cacti and cactuses. It doesn't include cactii. I'll have to get out the 20 pounder and look in there, too.  Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
Whatever the plural is, they still look to me like they're straight out of the front garden at Chernobyl...
