I'll add one in from last March. I've worked on this one before but gave it another go.

Not just cactus, Jim, but a pretty impressive joshua tree forest as well!

[Hey, what's wrong with black borders
Oh, boy... ;-)
Nothing. But... I decided, for my own work, that I wanted to present photograph with borders similar to what you will see in a print, and I mat in white. I found that black borders can have an effect on how I perceive the image on the monitor that misleads me about how the image will work as a print - the black borders let you go darker and still see shadow detail that won't show up as well in the print.
In any case, it was just a personal decision, and I still might occasionally virtual-mat in black on a few images. :-)

In answer to the "where?" question on the previous image, perhaps here?
Dan, that is a very nice "perhaps here" image. I wish I had spent more time here. I was sort of deterred because sections of the road were not so great for my oversized truck camper.

Actually, the "perhaps here?" question/comment was an answer to the previous post that asked whether we recognized a certain less-iconic location. The "team" comment was also part of the response... ;-)

Go, "team!" ;-)

Yay someone can read! And great photos Dan. They are all really great. I enjoy your clean processing and interpretation.
