While searching for a shot in the Southern Arizona desert near Madera Canyon, I kept seeing these Teddy Bear cholla cacti around. They create a wonderful reflection as sunlight hits their needles. I was trying to find the perfect composition of the Teddy Bear cholla cacti.
I finally found the cactus I was looking for and was also able to line it up with the mountain in the background. The sun was just setting, and a small amount of light was hitting the tip of the mountain. I then took the photo, and it turned out just as I had hoped.
