WOW! Gorgeous. After I enjoy (wallow in) the sensual delight of this comp, then I appreciate the effective use of DOF & framing. The light is great, too. You shot an everyday plant & revealed its exotic tropical soul. Why is this not on the front page where it clearly belongs?

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that contributes well to the challenge

A lovely night exposure. The lovely soft moonlight gives the scene an ethereal atmosphere that is very appealing. I do think it could have been improved with a larger DOF to get the foreground cactus nicely defined too, I have to agree with your commenter it does rather detract rather than add to the end result. Alternatively, using the cactus as a strong focal point with a softer background would have worked better.
