We are located in Arizona and this photo will probably need to come from somewhere in Southern Arizona, likely around Tucson.

I need a picture of a Saguaro Cactus forest, with one giant Saguaro standing out among the others. The denser the saguaro forest the better. The cactus should be at the bottom of the frame, with blue sky behind them, and IF POSSIBLE, some hills/mountains/rocks for character.

The Giant Saguaro should be PHOTOSHOPPED, to over-exaggerate the idea.

THE CONCEPT is to stand out among the competition, stronger and larger. I can more easily do this with a stock rain forest image, but being an Arizona company this seems much more fun :)

Picture on Getty that is somewhat close to what I want (inspiration):

This image would be great if it had more blue sky above the cactus, and one almost absurdly large Saguaro among the others.

9 years ago - @digitalintuitive Hi I just started here so I can't post to your request. But if you are interested check out my profile. I have some nice pictures of saguaros in Arizona. https://www.snapwi.re/user/andr3ina
9 years ago - @rublesb A larger image gives us much more flexibility with the photo if we want to crop it etc. The bigger the image the more we can do with it.
9 years ago - I'm a bit confused on the request. Why do you need a 10 megapixel image if this is going to be used for a website?
9 years ago - Joey: thanks for the kind words and the nomination.
9 years ago - I'm pretty photoshop savvy and would be willing to give it a shot! I will need the large cactus though because I don't have any shots of one close up to put into the photo. If you feel comfortable please feel free to contact me through my website since snapwire doesn't have a PM ability.
9 years ago - @Unmorceau, almost perfect! How are your photoshop skills, and can you fill that part of the request? If need be, I can supply the right additional image to put into one of you photos. I need to have one large, embellished, multi-armed saguaro in the middle. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
9 years ago - @azman, thanks for your submissions. I could tell from your portfolio you'd be a good one to invite. Very nice work.
9 years ago - Thanks so much for the nomination!
9 years ago - Appreciate the invitation, will post photos for you to look at.
9 years ago - Thanks for the invitation- the only one I have that is close to your descriptors is in portrait not landscape orientation.
