Puppy in the desert

[Steve Bein]

The Joahua Tree, shot in IR, looks like a jumping puppy to me. I did more work and posted one of the other three versions in OTB.

Canon 20D, IR conversion
something which gave a 15mm version, perhaps fisheye, or 12-24, I forgot.
1/125 sec, f/11
Mode: Av
Metering: Multi-segment
ISO: 100

Hi Steve,
I would have preferred the bush offset from the joshua tree. As it stands now, the right sky is a little unbalanced........or a little to bright even. I'll go check the OOTB ones in a minute and comment after I check them out also,

Steve,

Saw this image this morning but did not have time to comment. I was going to say the same as Roman, offsetting the bush and cactus would have balanced the image much better.

I am not so sure I like the color cast of the image (I understand it is color IR conversion), but that is personal test more then a creative judgment.

I see many things is this nicely shaped tree, but no jumping puppy...:D
I like the scene, but must agree with previous comments that placing the FG bush either right or left of the tree would have improved composition. I am no big fan of this type of toning and would like to see this in B&W.
