Tenacious

[JimFox]

To grow in the desert a planet definitely has to be tenacious! Holding on for dear life it would seem.

On my recent trip to White Sands National Park in New Mexico, for the most part I was looking for areas of totally unbroken sand. But then I switched up as I do want to capture some yucca's or other plants holding on for their lives. This is one area I found like that. This was early morning, the shadows might be a clue for that.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

The low sun angle is perfect for this scene and does a good job of bringing out the textures in the sand.

Nice light for this scene to highlight the sand patterns. The yucca's definitely add interest.

Thanks Alan. I think the lack of clouds forced me to focus more on the shapes and lines on the ground, which is a good thing.

It sure did. Thanks Jameel!

I like the color temperature, you can see the blue in the shadows.

It's a delicate balance when processing as you know Jeffrey. Thanks so much.
