Relic

Thanks for the feed back on these burned sage photos. They were unique and interesting to photograph.

Here is the last one that I will present and possibly print. By this time in the morning the sun had risen and had the Sierras basking in full light. There was this subtle side light that was reflected off those 6000 foot reflectors that just gave these small desert plants and burned sage an amazing appearance as they caught that light while the pumice itself was still primarily reflecting clear blue sky. This was the last photo of that morning.

This lone burned sage was just looking back at me... a relic of what it used to be almost as if it was asking that I take its image and let the world know what it once was. I hope I did it justice.

4x5, Nikkor 150mm f64, 4 sec, 81EF, Fuji Provia 100F.

feedback and thoughts appreciated.

P.S. the large version was saved at level 4 quality to meet size limits, so take it with a grain of pumice...
