It's the struggle for life. Despite the hospitable climate and the constant battle for survival, life will find a way. I think photographers appreciate that!

Thanks Gary. Its an honour to be mentioned in the same sentence as JD but our workflows are quite different. In one of his images he describes his but mine is much more simple. Scan with no adjustment (using Vuescan), import into PS as a 48bit tiff (file is about 140MB!!) then level tweek, crop as necessary, (clone dust bunnies etc), convert to mono using the channel mixer (no fixed values on R,G,B channel but usually turn the constant to about -14%). Depending on my mood (or the music I'm listening to) I may pass through the Mr Contrast filter for an even more severe look!!
The sky was uninteresting for my visit to this tree on this day (but it was a nice sunset) but the rocks always look good in low light.
My very best wishes.

Paul,it may looks like Txules style,but it is not,in fact he adds noise,do a lot burning and dodging,and there is some vignetting too,it is only the mode that is similar,my regards,
Saad.

This is my favourite of the two because of the more interesting foreground. The dark mood is great (the Txules school of PS work?)

Thanks Avi. The frame is just the edge of the 120 slide film. Nothing special!!
