Approaching Storm at Bonsai Rock
I wanted to post the image earlier, but just didn't get around to it. Its a MF image, 35mm, using a 2 Stop SGND, that was taken near Sand Harbor, Nevada last January. I did a fair amount of post-processing to bring out the boulder and subdue the strong lighting on the left side of the frame. I also used Topaz in CS4. All comments welcome. Best Regards.

I like the colors and formations. The extra work that you did in post
processing paid off. Well done, Michael.

Michael, always a big fan of images from this site. Maybe as I've never been here to take it in myself, but I also see a variety of takes on this scene too. Each photog seems to get a slightly different persepctive, or lighting as seen here. Wonderful job on the processing as Robert has mentioned. I might try to work the top of the rock and trees a bit more where the grad seems to be slightly darker there.
