Hi-Res Cactus Flower

Last Friday I hiked the Treasure Trail in the Superstition Mountains. Some of the Saguaro (pronounced sa-WAH-ro) cacti are still blooming. I took two shots of this young Saguaro. Young because it has not grown a branch yet which means it is under 75 years old. It was about 12 feet tall.
I had my em1.3 with the 12-45 pro, shooting handheld Hi-Res. The first image of the entire cactus shows my distance from the cactus. The second image (sooc) was taken at same location, zoomed to 45mm. The third image is cropped and zoomed from the second image. I am impressed with the unedited detail this combo shows.

I miss Superstition Mountain. Used to deer hunt there with my father-in-law. BTW, nice shots.
