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.

There is something in this picture that makes me look for a long time. I give you a 7.

Easily a stop dark. Falls flat and the OOF plant in the front is more distracting than anything. Other than being dark the processing is nicely done.

For some reason, I had previously voted this lower. Bringing up a few notches because it's really great lighting and composition.
