Congratulations Hank!!!

Here is another shot from my Death Valley set. Shot the same day as my "Twilight Dunes" image (but 50 minutes earlier), this shows how light and shadow completely change a mood. Here the shot is all about contrast and warm tones. As I was working my way through the dunes (careful not to walk into any potential compositions and track up the sand), I fell in love with this foreground.

Canon 5D MkII
1/20 sec @ f/16, ISO 100
17-40mm f/4 @ 24mm
Added foreground contrast and darkened the mountains and sky slightly
