Very nice. I like this. I think there is a slight tilt to the right.

Very cool. This is great, I see the tilt, just slight. I'd also consider boosting the brightness and then the contrast. I think there's lots of room to play with this one. The comp really makes me feel like I'm there.

Yep, wicked. Wind, dry, desert, weather, vast. Poor tree… Wicked good shot. I wouldn't mind seeing a touch more brightness as long as the mood isn't lost in the process.

Just got back from a trip to the Dakotas and started really liking those views into "somewhere in the middle of nowhere" places. This is sure a good example of it. Lots of solitude.

I love how dark this feels, Jeremy. The only thing I might adjust if it were mine, was to dodge the highlights on the grasses some to highlight that feature of the photo. Right now, the dirt kind of takes precedence in the the photo...and I dont think that's where you want to eye directed to...

Awesome photo Jeremy. I really like the b/w processing here. The clouds and the grasses compliment each other very well and the lone tree really adds drama to the scene. Well done.
