For this image, I set the camera on long exposure and then using multiple, handheld triggered bursts from m 580EX flash unit, I "painted" the cactus from different angles.

Good job on the lighting in this one.

How come you raised the ISO to 320 although you went for a long exposure shot ?
Nice effect ! Though the cactus might be a little overexposed on the very left side, isn't it ?

Cool cactus, but I just love that star in that barren sky.

He's kind of spooky, waving it's arms... ;) I like the picture, think the light on the green really gives it a nice effect. Well done!

This cactus has a lot of character - the flower buds look like fingers waving at us. The green against the night sky is very unique, but I agree with Sherri that the star adds that special touch to the picture.

Nice effect with the lighting, and the purple and orange hues of the desert evening in the background really compliment the cactus. Nicely done.

very creative! I was going to ask you how you got this effect, smart thinking on your part. I'm really going to have to try this sometime. Great shot!
