Argh... The aliens have come...

It is about perfect from lighting point of view. I feel a bit 
distracted by right bottom corner... So, except advise I always get 
from Shel - how many more shots you've taken at the same time, I 
cannot add much.


This is indeed very successful shot.

Excellent shot, beautiful light and composition.  The only thing that 
bugs me is the out of focus shrub in the foreground on the bottom right. 
 Other than that, its stunning and close to perfect.

Wonderful image Joe! It's almost otherworldly.  Nice composition (wish the 
OoF foreground plant in lower right was absent).

What he said. Totally cool shot, one of the better ones I have seen on this 
list. The black rock behind the cacti really sets them off. I really, really 
like it.

Well worth the wait.  I like this a lot.
Perhaps a little wider framing (more space around the cacti) would be
an improvement.  Hard to say for sure since I do not know what was
around the cacti.

Joe,
Don't blame you for being enthusiastic about this image. Very nice
fringe lighting against the dark background.
Cacti well placed to maintain balance against the slope of the hill.
Symmetry is somewhat broken by the far right distorted form.
