I don't know William. I see a lot of cactus here in Arizona now and find it very interesting visually, of course I don't have the breaking surf behind it. There is always this detritus around the bottom of the plan when I point the lens towards the ground and, for me, it tends to spoil the shot. Compositionally, framing the surf with the two trees is a good idea although I would have been tempted the turn the camera slightly left and take a short step to the right; the cactus that touches the left side of the frame bothers me. I see the moon rising in the sky that might have warranted a telephoto of it and the surf. Maybe that's a cliche, but it is one I would have wanted to explore. Finally, it's awfully busy and I don't know quite what I am supposed to be looking at. Rendering looks good to me.
Thinking about it some more, if the intent was to frame the surf (probably not, based on the title) then I think it does not work. If your intention was to make a "portrait" of the aloes, the I personally think there is too much other stuff going on. I know lot's of folks like that. Whatever happened to Harald? He's done some of these with a certain degree of success. We'll see what the others think. Thanks for posting.
