A cholla and saguaro cactus near Phoenix, AZ

A 30 second exposure using flash to light cactus and moon and city

lighiing the sky.

The only problem that I have with this is that the shaddows thrown by the moon on the cactus in the background is different to that thrown by the flash. I think that if the flash had been more from the right then the shaddow would look more natural....just an opinion

I think the different light and shadow directions add to the surreal feeling. The cactus on the left is pretty messy - do you have a similar shot with the tall plant on the right dominating? I think that would be a real winner.
