Cactus Barb

One morning wandering the desert I saw this single cactus barb stuck in a dry mud pan. The early morning light made it stand out with its long shadow even though it was probably only an inch or so around. I liked the contrast it made for a black and white image…and an independent tenacity feel to it.
