Hi David - I like this one alot! I actually like the pre-revised cactus just as much. For me, the problem in both paintings is the large tree/bush on the left- it just takes away or competes with the cactus, which are beautiful and would stand alone great. Sorry to be critical, because I really love your work!
Thanks for comments Martha and Susan. I wondered why I didn't like this piece. Martha, I think you hit the nail on the head. I don't like that tree on the left side. Oddly enough I found an old 5x7 version of this piece that I left the background very light and obscure. That small version worked much better! I always appreciate insightful critique.

Ahh backlit cactus, very nice. I didn't see your first attempt but this is eye-catching and serene.
