Description
This lone saguaro cactus with a beautiful background of cumulus clouds was photographed in the Superstition Wilderness in the Tonto National Forest outside Apache Junction, Arizona. The Saguaro is only found in the Sonoran Desert, a stretch of desert found in northern Mexico and Arizona with a small section in southeastern California. While the Saguaro is only found in the Sonoran Desert, it is not found in all areas of the desert which is divided into a number of quite separate regions, the far western of which more resembles the Mohave than the iconic Sonoran found around Phoenix and Tucson in Arizona. The prickly pear in the foreground and the frame of palo verde trees allows this Saguaro the grace and dignity it deserves.

I processed the raw image file shot with a Canon 60D with an 18-55mm IS lens using Photomatix Pro 5, filters from Topaz Labs including Detail 3, BW Effects, ReMask 4 and DeJPEG 4 as well as some minor tweaking in Photoshop including sCurve adjustments, brightness, saturation and the camera raw filter to produce this Black and White HDR image.
