The first pic is unedited, and here's the version I played with a bit, what do you think, is it too much?

Here's a few more, should be clear by looking at them, but unedited version first, edited one after:

I think I might have gone overboard with the Aztekiums (first pic), but other ones look kinda nice to me. Still a lot to learn though, one day I might be able to show how pretty these are in real life!

Thank you! These are the healthy ones, but I managed to somehow murder more than a few too :(

Sometimes I'll have two of the same family cacti, using the same soil, standing literally next to each other, getting the same watering routine and all, and one will grow super strong and healthy, while the other will just die for no discernible reason :/
