Night Blooming Cactus

peptic_ulcer has added a photo to the pool:

Night Blooming Cactus

This cactus blooms only at night. The buds open up after midnight and just before the sun rises, the flowers close up and die. So I went with my camera out on my back deck at about 1:30 am and took this picture. I set the ISO to 3200. This photo was lit by a single 60 watt tunsten light bulb and a Canon 580EX speedlight. The only post processing I did was adjust the white balance and add some saturation and noise reduction.
