Towards the Light

Cloud can be hard to come by in the desert. That morning, there was too much of it. I decided to shoot towards the sun. I bracketed exposure so that the "sun" is not totally blown out.

Solid comp John, my eyes notice the comparable blotching of dark and light that is present in both the sky and the stone.. Works great!!

Beautiful light. The sky makes this look other-worldly.

Great composition and movement. You captured a nice scene when many others would have been deterred by the cloud cover.

Nice work. Very compelling, brooding and ominous. Reminds me of some of Metternich's stuff lately.

The leading lines are very powerful in this shot, pulls me into the light.
