Acacia

This is from my recent trip last Wednesday to a national reserve here in Saudi Arabia, about 3 hours drive from Riyadh. The golden color of the background escarpment forced me to stop and get a shot of this beautiful acacia. My biggest mistake was that I left my 4x5 camera in the car, such image should look great on 4x5, I Won't do it again. I hope my composition is successful here..looking forward for your valuable comments.

LOVELY! I really like your composition and the beautiful color of the BG. Beautiful work. Reminds me of Guy Tal's iamges.

This is lovely. Is the light on the wall in the background reflected? Very nice glow.

Nice color and composition. It looks like the American southwest.

Beautiful colors and contrast Mohsen! The larger view accentuates the subtle color variation in the tree branches. Beautiful work!
