Back to the Desert

Thinking it was cool enough I trekked to the desert to get some sunset shots. By the time we got there most of the clouds had dissipated. The monsoon seems to have fizzled. Suggestions are always a welcome.

    Nice series, Eia. thumb.gif

    Ok, here are my comments on them, FWIW...

    1) Teddy Bears are too soft. Cactii need to be shot sharp because they are sharp.

    2) Cracking shot just as is.

    3) I would have gone for the sunstar here.

    4) Great just the way it is. (BTW, is hubby packing a piece here? naughty.gif)

    Cheers,

    Beautiful shots, with wonderful light, Eia! clap.gif The first is my favorite, and the sharpness of the teddy bears is great as is to my eyes. :D
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    Thank you for your comment. I have many photos of cacti and they are much sharper than this one. I was concentrating on the color more than the focus I fear.

    Nice series! The color is great in the teddy bear shot.

    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that rolls with an armed guard! mwink.gif
