Beautiful cactus! The ants sure seem to enjoy it.

Like you said, amazing beauty from a prickly source.

A real beauty, Rich. Such a pretty flower.

What a wonderful mass of blooms on this spiky growth.

Lovely flower, it does look too delicate to be on a cactus!

Wonderful DOF. I really like the separation of the subject from the background.

That is a real beauty, and right at its peak! Nice!

A gorgeous image, well exposed and clear enough to reveal a few 6-legged visitors!

Rich the light is gorgeous. The shine, and radiance are outstanding. I've not seen a cactus this pretty before. Let's see some more. :) Did you use the 70-200mmVR?

Wow this is a gorgeous image! The blurred background makes the cactus flower pop. And since we just don't get to see cactus flowers it is a wonderful sight to see. Well done.

An outstanding image, clear against the blurred background.

Good choice of aperture, I like the isolation between subject and background.
