Unfortunately, even though it is monsoon season, we had no clouds last night.

This almost looks unreal. Very peaceful, and all we need is a smoking volcano in the background and a couple of t-rexes

It's very real, but certainly surprising to find in the middle of the desert.

Nice work Dan.

I have thought about going back there for the evening light. I'm hoping the monsoon will bring us some clouds to give the sky some character.

Yes- it does look a little like Jurassic Park. It looks like a post card! I bet with the clouds coming it will be a real scene!

Could also be called Desert Oasis. Definitely gives off the peaceful feel.



.... might a little over done though. :ivar

OK, sorry.

Your colors, the green and rust, are too saturated in my opinion, and the HDR processing that you did is too much. This is personal taste. I actually like some of the surreal HDR treatments, but in this particular set, I found it harsh.
