Another area within Joshua Tree park. The shear volume of boulders in relatively flat areas is fascinating.

You're right, Doug, about how black and white adds drama to a shot. It certainly did here. I should probably study the history of the geology since this is near my back yard. To me it looks like something that glaciers left behind.

Love that moody sky although it doesn't seem to fit the brightly lit rock formations. I see a white line where the sky meets the rocks. I continue to get that when I try to drop in a sky or occasionally with ReDynaMix.

All and all, I like the black and white. A solid 8.2/10.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Really nice b&w Doug. Those boulders make a (pardon me) solid picture. Nice sky as well.
