Beautiful circular composition, Leslie. It's not always easy to find an image with circular composition, but your eyes found this. There is a repeat of pattern, topped off with a circular array of lovely cactus flowers.

No wonder the judges picked this for the picture of the day. I'm certain we'll see this again.

Congratulations!!! #8554222
