Here is another image from my recent Steens Mt/Alvord Desert trip. The Alvord Lake was only about 50% dry (still lots of mud when you got 1/2 mile or so out) so it was all cracks and clouds for me that day.

Any suggestions for further processing are much appreciated.

Canon 7d
13mm
ISO 100, f/20, 1/125s

Love this for the depth and sense of the vast distance. The mosaic created by the cracks in the ground adds a lot of interest to the foreground. The essence of the image to me is open space, conveyed well in an image that's very agreeable to view.

I love the sense of vastness you've captured here Marylynne. Very natural looking as well. Nice!

Thanks, Jack, Catherine, and Joe. I also have this one added here. Some days I like it better; some days the rock gets in my way ;-). Any preference for one over the other? I think I could pump up the contrast and clarity on this one.
