Muttart Conservatory - Desert Moon

I have just finished submitting my image choices to the Muttart Conservatory's Shutter Bug contest.  The rules called for the images to be un-edited so I was unable to use this image taken in the Arid Pavilion on a late winter afternoon.  The sun was low on the horizon and just barely shone through the glass but it created a glow on the cacti needles.  I underexposed the scene when I shot it to capture that glow and to preserve the shadows while eliminating some background that was much darker.  The moon was added in post production to provide a visual light source to explain the 'night glow'.

Framing and text added as PS3 layers
