Yes, Sandy, a lovely high key look especially with the colors in the sky.

The subtle blues on the white sand complement the blazing colors of the sky in this lovely composition.

This is really nice, Sandy. I like the soft colors against the white sand. Of course, you being "Sandy", this WC was pretty much made for you.

Very beautiful, Sandy. Gorgeous light and I like your placement of the yucca.

This is a wall hanger for sure Sandy. Amazing warm peaches and pinks in the clouds and the plants against the nice cool sands. Great composition of the plant in the frame. I almost wish the seed pods were not in front of the clouds as much because they also have a lot of character. Good painted look.

Very nice and certainty colorful, Sandy. As numerous as they are in the park, it's not always easy to get soap tree yuccas to "behave" so nicely.

First off, I really like this and it is kind of unique for a landscape photo because of the high key approach. I find the colors quite fascinating. The smaller image is a lot softer than the larger image where the detail really shines through. It's as if they are almost 2 different images. A really cool photo Sandy.
