This is a cactus plant know as False Saguaro (Pachycereus Pringlei).
A BIG thank you to Jenn Taggart for her UA.
Note to Annette:
When I first saw the plant, I thought it was a Saguaro. This must be a common mistake and probably accounts for the name.

A good close crop of some lethal spikes, Walter. Strong shadows and lovely green tones emphasised by your processing. Great piece of work.
Dave
I recognized this as yours immediately - very much your style Walter. Love the format on this one which works so well with the vertical rows of spines.
Anne
I wonder why it is false. Did you stick the spikes on? Or does the real one come with some nice smelling red fruit?
any which way, I like the processing which must have been a pricky thing to do.
I really like the strong graphic lines of this abstract image Walter - the lines of the spikes, the grooves in the fleshy part of the plant (is it obvious that I know nothing about gardening? 
) and the vertical lines between each section all combine to make an artistic and cleverly-created image. The use of light and shade is excellent - a cracking image, as usual
