Thanks, Bela.

Yes I went and looked your b&W portfolio. You have 3 dry trees standing, and all of them are so beautifully captured, (some one named it 3 witches :) ).

To me, this picture made an impression. It is not easy to make two stumps look so gorgeous. Anyone can shoot a good picture if the landscape is itself grand. It takes a great photographer to make simple things look grand!

Thank you, Doug.

Yes, I have posted a few more pictures of the mountains. They stretched miles and the day was clear, and I could get a few nice shots.

Bela,

I like this one a lot! One question: Did you intentionally crop the bottom portion?

thanks,

Leslie,

Thank you for the comments. Yes, I should have been a bit careful about the horizon. I will try what I can do..

i did not do any vignetting. Interesting that it looks that! The one thing I did work on was tone of tree.

Another.. 

Thanks, Greg, Pierre,

I took a look at the original image again... the sky did have some haze.

Here is another image..

Thank you, Robert.

Pierre,

I am looking at all the desert theme pictures. I am loving it. Details on shadows are amazing.. longer slanted ones for late evening, short directly below for those afternoon... Very very nice

Bela,

Well, I can only say I learn something new from every photograph you post. Thank you.

Jim, Great work! Great composition! wonderful way to get the trees on a slope.

Thank you, Doug. I was thinking if I didn't take care of something, either while shooting or processing..

A bit unsure about the vibrance around the sun! comments appreciated.

Thanks,

Thank you, Pierre

Thank you, Gerald

To me this is a very unusual and very creative! I love it. Very nice. I have learnt something today.
