Love this shot. I wasn't aware of this locations name before but this place is also used for the nik snapseed example shot - I had to get my phone to check it wasn't the same image... your capture is much better though =). The clouds forming around this tree almost as though they were its leaves is fantastic.
The parched ground the the dead looking trees really make your title ring true. Your composition is right on with the curve of the trees leading the eye - very well done 7
Lovely comp and I think the exposure was well handled - just enough detail in the bark of the tree. Was this Doodvlei or Sossusvlei? Hope you enjoyed the trip there - on my bucket list of things to do!
Interesting black and white version of the Death Valley, Namibia and the second in this challenge. Those clouds make this a unique shot of a much photographed subject.
Gorgeous image. (8) Wonder if it could even stand a little bit more contrast? Although, that's just a personal taste thing I suppose, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it as it is.
Branches stretch to the sky.
Roots radiate out across earth.
I thirst for touch
of my fellow kind.
In sight, but far from reach.
What struck me as interesting in this shot is that the tree in the foreground seems to be reaching out in branch, root, and even the shadow to it tree brethren scattered far apart in the landscape. It makes the scene even more parch and desolate.
