Was at P.J. Ciener Botanical Garden in Kernersville, NC, last Sat. to help with vendor booth for Herb Society of America.- NC.Unit. I took a few images with the iPhone about 9:30 a.m. They have several different succulents throughout the garden. I always liked this one with the spikes and when I can get light shining from the back. When you are in a public garden, you can not always remove debris or watering hoses, etc. I liked that the shadows showed leading lines. I do not have the app "Touch-Retouch" which is supposed to remove unwanted objects. I am sure the image would have been better with a designated macro lens. I did use Camera+ HDR mode. Post processing used PSE 11. I cropped, increased shadows, sharpened and decreased blue which gave a more yellow glow to the image. The needles of the cacti would have been sharper had I used a tripod.
