really beautiful Breland

Amazing form against the white sand. It is a beautiful capture, Breland.

This is great Breland. I have never made it to Whitesands. Did you get to Trinity - the site of the first A-bomb test?

Its a good image but feel everythings too centered, can get some feel for this and I am trying to be constructive , not just nasty! Perhaps using the thirds rule or some leading lines, or some forground interest. You have lots of FANTASTIC shots but this is not one of my favs.

Nicely done Breland,

Tough!

Beautifully composed Breland and the white sand and the gnarled tree look great against that sky. Vote.

Excellent shot.

Amazing that things can grow in that gypsum. And the roots must go forever !!!!

Great shot of this lone tree.

This would make an amazing scene painted on canvas, Breland. I wonder how many years of struggle it takes.

Amazing anything can grow there. Looks like a heroic struggle.

In my favorites gallery you are next to a photo of snow...I thought this was snow. What a harsh environment.

I can see why they call it white sands. Beautiful contrast of blue sky, sand and trees.
