If you need top pull detail out I have seen landscape photographers (I'll not mention their name) use flash. Of course it depends on the situation and lens choice, but done right it looks pretty good. At least the foreground isn't dark. Of course your cactus shot may not be the best subject, but what the hell, experiment.
