Peter, the dorsal view is actually here, but it can only be seen by people of quality.

(An aside: If I would have had someone along on the shoot who would have held cacti in their bare hands to allow me free access, I would have done much better.)

Ron,
you're killing me... Silver, the only one of that shape in your area and love cacti.

Thanks, Jeff
As you probably guessed, Peter was shooting with me. But not holding cacti.
