Another shot in my series of the dry riverbeds of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

Processed as an HDR using a workflow I've developed over time which includes both Photomatix, Photoshop and a whole lot of layers.

Techs:
Canon 1000D with 18-55mm IS @ 18mm
f16 @ 1/320 SS @ ISO-200

Would love to have your opinions...

The use of the road as a leading line really makes this image work. The clouds make the sky interesting and no deep shadows even though the light is strong.

I like the shadow on the road from the first large tree. Nicely composed.

I think this works well. I like the fact that the road leads from both corners. The sky is fantastic.

Hi Morkel, Nice leading line along with a well balanced comp. The wispy clouds add strongly to the images interest...

Hey Morkel,
Yep....I have to agree with the above! You are doing the processing very well and the road and shadow.....combined with the rest....do come together nicely!
