Photographer's Note
Finally "we are" down by the Colorado river.
Those of you who know me little bit, can maybe imagine how i felt when i saw this beautiful cactuses with red flowers on the top, a plant paradise for me :)
The bridge you see across the Colorado river is named "Silver bridge" or "Bright angel suspenison bridge". It wasnt too much stabile, i would say it was pretty shaky :)
But the view from it was amazing, youŽll see tomorrow ;)
Nice weekend for all of you!

You don't need a big applause here because the photo stands up by itself.
You don't need a big applause here because it counldn't be heard among the noise of the the current ;o)
But I wish I could credit more than two applauses to this strong and clear picture. Not an illusion: it is sharp and accurate on what you are reporting about.
When you first came to this forum, a friend emailed me saying that he saw a new and young star in TE. He also expresswed the fear that if you are blind to the value of the critiques, you can be spoilt like some have been recently. But so far so good.
I wish you all the best toward the development of your photographic path.

Hello Veronica,
Superb shot here. I really enjoy the point of view that you have selected here. Good contrast between the plant and the metal bridge. Well managed light and DOF. Great sharpness also.
Very nicely done,
Paul

Too much heat, Veronica, please stop! Excellent colours again, and one of the best compositions I've seen in your photos. Excellent focus and POV. Great depth of field (not too clear, not to shallow) allowing as to "focus" on the main subject, but also letting us see the background. Incredible positioting of the bridge. Congratulations!

Excellent add to your GC series, Vero. I really enjoy this composition that gives good attention to the cacti in the foreground, and at the same time offers a good view across the wild-brownish river that is spanned by the bridge that enters your frame from the left. Now all that is missing is for Adam to implement an "attach sound" feature so that we could hear the river, but it is easy to imagine from just looking at your photo. Nice one.

Hello.
Nice perspective on this shaky bridge and good composition with the cactus at the foreground. Just one notice about that: I think the red stuff on the top of the cactus are fruits and not flowers...
The light is beautiful and the DOF is really well managed.
Thanks for sharing.

Vero, nice picture. I like the focus and the low saturation of the image. Nice theme and this little flowers look very nice.
Have a nice day

Excellent cactus shot, Vero. The perfect DOF adds a graphic note to this rather wilderness shot.
