I never would have placed this in Death Valley! Nice detail and color. At first, the vignetting bothered me, until I realized it was natural.

I have been to Darwin Falls, Ronald. It's a cool place, or at least a cool place relative to the surrounding desert. This is an interesting image from Death Valley. Certainly no one would guess its origin.

Ronald - Lovely scene and if I am not wrong these are tropical plants. Used to grow wild in my home country.

The more I look at the dark corner in the upper right, I am wondering if making the lower left also more dark than it is, might put more attention on the fern bunch along the diagonal. May be you can see if it works for you.
