Yucca, White Sands NM

I think you did well Tony, this is an outstanding image - I absolutely love the tonal range. Thanks for sharing.

At least you wouldn't have missed sunrise

Very nice tones.

Wonderful in it's simplicity, well done!

Beautiful tones and composition

There must be millions of White Sands with Yuccas pictures out there. Living in the Southwest means I get to see a lot of them. SO it is nice to see a different and very successful take on what I had thought was a very tired theme. Good job.

Very nice! Well done.

Like Rob said, the tones are great!

Thanks for the feedback. I admit I have my fair share of tired old cliches from my NM trip but this is one which I thought made the cut so thanks for seeing something in this. It takes time and repeat viewings to confirm initial feelings about some shots.

As for being lost in the dunes when I finally got out and hitched a ride back in the dark to my car and drove back to Alamogordo I found out they don't serve alcohol on Sundays! Yikes....I really needed a few stiff scotches and had to settle dismally for a coke. No bending the rules for directionally challenged and traumatised Aussies.

A beautiful shot Tony in both capture and tone.

Cheers
Vincent
