First one is excellent, I like it a lot. The thorns look 3D
I like the 2nd one too, nice colour and composition.
Not so keen on 3 or 4. 3 seems a bit aimless to me. I find the crop in 4 too tight, and somehow it doesn't have the same impact as the first cactus.

Super shots: makes me frustrated, though.
I've had a Sigma 24mm (the one that was better than Leitz) for years but it's in Contax fit and conversion would be ludicrously expensive. Excellent lens, though!
Best wishes,
Andrew

The first three are with the Sigma 'miniwide' 24mm wide-open at f2.8.
The last one is with the F 35-70mm at f5.
