    Photographs I have seen of these rock formations are usually desolate. I like your rendering of the frame of the ruined sculptured tree that is actually straight of spirit in its shadow. Reminds me of the suburbs near the pyramids, as in most photographs only show the desert.

  • Joyce Dickens, IPA

    Superb capture; excellent!

  • AngieBel

    I have to agree with Cathie…the different ‘take’ on these geographical icons is inspired! Brilliant work!

    Stunning landscape, great photo! I’d like to see this as a tighter vertical crop of maybe the middle 2/3 with the tower centered. It’s a real challenge to keep your shadow from sneaking into an image sometimes; good job on not showing up!

  • Mark Ramstead replied

    I think you may be right! I will try that out.

    Nice capture and good job at not getting your shadow in the picture especialy with the sun at your back. You practicaly have to lay on the ground to get it. Nice depth of field also!
