The Root

This is a few hundred years old tree, now in a stoned condition, on a

Namib salt pan. The most important part of the tree- the Roots, were

needed when alive not only to get ankered in the salt pan, but to get

water from depth. Let me know how you like it. thanks Jana

Jana, I like the colors and composition here--especially how the root leads us into the frame. The lighting is very harsh, but I guess that's what you get in the desert! Also, you get extra credit for licking the salt to get the shot.

I love this photo! Stunning boldness, and the shapes look sensuous.

Very much! Great work :)

Best regards from Kenya, Mark

very nice capture. I have been to that location as a boy, its a magic place.

I find this photo the best I seen this month. personally I would have left out a part from the sky (and the tree) e.g. from just above the dunes (7/6)

Great shot , perhaps a lower viewpoint would move the horizon of the middle of the picture

Ken, I was licking the ground. Thanks Jana

Jana, next time dig a little hole ;). Nice and powerful image. Congrats!

I like it!

Like much of your work in an impressive portfolio, this is highly effective!

Wonderfull shapes and colors!

dear Jana, thanks for your comments, now it's my turn:). I love your world from photography, it is explosion of colours, life and mystery. Good work, remarkable attitude.

great image I love it. Rich.

There are many shots of Dead Vlei and Sossulvei under PN, but this one is definitely a winner !
