    These trees are many years old, just no water to sustain them, a popular photo destination. Enjoy.

    very interesting composition with some awesome colors!! the one thing that bothers me is that the horizon line needs some CW rotation. other than that, pretty awesome!

    Hi Loukie,
    The lighting looks good and I agree with Harold on the rotation. The progression of sizes if the trees is very interesting but i feel a bit more seperation between the trees to get rid of some of the mergers may have helped compositionally.

    I was thinking the same thing as Roman. A little more separation and call it great. A very interesting place. I always love seeing shots of it.

    I agree on a bit more separation but as presented a very graphic image.

    Rotation does not look needed to me as the trees appear upright. I am guessing that the dune is receding in distance as it moves left to right, hence the optical illusion that a horizon is sloped.
