i thought it was some land ridges! awesome perspective, i like it. aces!

[Karen Smale]

Wow - I agree with summerfield - this looks like little cacti on ridges in a larger landscape, but they're fruits on the rib of a cactus. Good use of sepia color here!

Took me a minute to realize what I was looking at! Great job!

[Connie Little]

What a wonderful perspective. Thought I was looking at a landscape at first and in a way it is its own landscape. Great image.

[AM Schilling]

Great perspective--it creates such a unique, abstract feel for the subject!

Wow - incredible photo! Looks like an alien landscape!

Your processing gives this such an alien feel to it -- or maybe a miniature of many little cacti popping up? Well spotted
