My friend I know just where that tree is located. It will not be there forever that is for sure. Did you nail this or what. The lighting is superb for this moody shot. I can almost feel it all the way here. As always, you are hard to emulate. #9057671

Thank you all so much for your encouraging comments. There were a few shots shortly after this one that had more light on the ampitheater, but I prefered the mystery of this one. #9059389

Marty- This is so stunning and gorgeous my friend. The way you composed the picture to start with is so beautiful and I love the framing. Single trees like this that are all alone stand out so wonderfully. Love how its right on the edge. Your colors are so vivid and I love that lighting as the sun starts to go down. The mix of shadow and light is so beautiful, love how the sun shines on the side of the rocks. Then you have that post card perfect finish that makes it all stand out even more. Even the shape of the tree adds to all the beauty. A masterpeace. Nature at its best. Remarkable work my talented artist friend.
Have a great day. #9059443
