Lone Lookout

Bart...Great timing to seize this as the tree seemed to be leaning into the clouds.A really striking image!Bravo et salutations-Laurent

Great effect and composure.

Living in the desert not too fat from Joshua Tree, when there are strong winds in the atmosphere, we can take advantage if we're fast and somewhat lucky to be there at the right time. Thanks, Chris and Laurent!

Bart, this is a terrific image very well composed, and the cloud formation is fantastic. I love the way these tough old trees continue to survive the harsh desert conditions and make great photographic subjects. Well done. Todd

Thanks, Todd! I was in the right place at the right time. Some years this tree looks dead and gone, but we come back a year later and its all green and healthy again.

Bart, as Todd said, very well composed, and the cloud formation is fantastic. Could be a painting. Best regards, Franz

Franz, thanks. I never thought about itas looking like a painting. I know that I should have reprocessed it as the tree lst some detail in this version.

Outstanding. Quite unique capture of a fleeting moment in time. Gorgeous and graphically powerful. DG

This shot is amazing from every aspect. Bringing those two elements together in this frame creates a timeless picture, something to be enjoyed for a long time. Thank you for sharing it here.

Thanks so much, John T.

Outstanding !!
