Uluru (Ayer's Rock) Detail I

Comments?

Great color, contrast and detail

I like the colors. The cropping seems a bit arbitrary, I'd rather have the whole bush/ tree or none at all.

The photo hasn't been cropped much; in fact, I cropped a sliver of sky at the top, and some of the right margin, to make the tree adjacent to the right border. The circumferential road around Ayer's Rock is at a bit of distance from the rock itself. I wanted maximum detail of the rock itself, so I zoomed in all the way, thus the tree was cut off. I actually like it this way, so that the ground is not included (along with distracting grass, shrubs, etc.); this allows the photo to be simpler. I also liked the difference in textures between sky, cloud, rock and tree...
