Mood/Intention: Isolate beauty in the ordinary; a quiet celebration of natural light
Post-Processing Notes: Slight contrast boost and vignette
Like: The edge glow and muted background separation Improve: Might try a different angle to reduce foreground clutter
Caught this cactus just as the setting sun wrapped its light around the spines like a halo. I love it when nature shows off without warning — moments like these remind me why I started this journal.
