Arches NP.

I produced various interpretations of this, including bw, but somehow the straight image, with minimal Lightroom processing, expresses my perception of early morning in the desert.

Thoughtful image. I really like the simplicity of this! To me, it's about life being lived day-by-day in harsh conditions.

Very elegant image Nat, the colors and the shape of the tree trunk, nicely done!

Nat.... I really like the quality of light here. It really draws so many layers and shadows....the tree with the birds on it is just very artistic, regards, Rajeev. :toast:

Sometime minimalism is the best way to go! Yu definately have a winner on that one here!

I like it Nat. I can see how this image works best with the colors as-shot. Great early morning light.

Beautiful composition, Nat! I think this is one of those images that really need to be seen in a print to appreciate the more delicate elements.
