    Lou Ann, I'd say the other thing that helps is softer light. Looks like this was taken with the sun pretty high and that's hard on color. With the sun lower on the horizon, the sides of the ocotillo flowers will be lit up, and will be easier to get the color across. Since the light here is coming from the top and you're looking up to the flowers, you're seeing the bottom shady side. Chris is right, the easiest way to see the flowers is against a blue sky (or against as monochromatic a background as possible). But the light does need to be from the right angle. Hope that helps for next time.

    The desert is hard to photograph. I've always found it to be. I think you've done a nice job with the design. The clouds seem to compliment the land quite well, and in a larger version, I think you'd be able to see the ocotillo blooms quite nicely. Where'd you take this?

    I've been meaning to get into this canyon for quite a while, if things work out, I'll make it this weekend. Did you go east or west of the highway? The only think I'd change here would be to crop a bit off the bottom to accentuate the curves in the top 2/3s of the image. Keep it.

    Thanks for the comment. This actually was about midday, but in December, so the sun doesn't get very high but still makes for a nice glow. The canyon is zebra slot.
