This is from a trip to Joshua Tree in January. As twilight approached the treasure of this scene appeared. I didn't really do anything special when processing, but as I peeled away the layers of the Raw image this scene began to materialize. It's a bit more colorful than I might normally do, but I liked the final result.
Beautiful colors and well-chosen subjects, Jim. The wide angle stretching of the clouds in the upper right works well to give depth and direct the eye, but not so much for the top of the juniper (oops or it is a pinon?). At any rate, it sure brings back fond memories of JTree.

Hey Dave,
Glad you liked it. I don't believe there is really any stretching being done to the tree, it's just the angle it is at. Glad it brought back fond memories.

Jim,
Nice one. I've been fascinated with more twilight light these days than peak sunset light. This is really nice.

Thanks Jason, there is a lot to be said for twilight light. I have a few twilight shots where the stars can be seen starting to poke through and that seems pretty cool too.

Talk about a soothing scene with relaxing light. Now I just want to be there and sit back with a freshly opened beer......
Hey Jeffrey, it was a very relaxing time out there. The quiet solitude with the scent of campfires really makes for an enjoyable time. Glad you liked this.
Great shot Jim, love the textures in the foreground rocks and the color ain't bad either. Been many years since i've been there, would love to go back.
