Took this image of the Superstition Mountains in the Superstition Wilderness at sunset. It was captured on my Nikon Z7ii at f/11 using my Nikon 14-30mm lens. The biggest challenge was making sure everything was in focus, capturing the sun on the side of the cactus and making sure the top of the plant wasn't cut off. I think it would make a great large print because of the detail captured on the cactus and the mountains but also because this encompasses the feeling of the desert southwest.

Fantastic composition and great lighting. Love how your cactus subject is being lit. Fantastic processing too. And the way the sun hits the rocks in the background really pulls us around the photo.

Thank you, I am glad that you like the photo. I wasn't getting much over the mountains but the lighting really helped to make this a much better image.
