Interesting image Ronald. When I look at the larger version, I feel like I'm standing there in the parched hills of Death Valley! You did a good job conveying the feel of the desert here.

I like this Ronald. It says hot and parched. I think with a crop just above the desert holly it would also make a cool abstract. It kinda looks like a person who has melted into the rocks and sand.

Nice colors and tones in this Ronald and the simplicity works great. A real desert feel to this. Very nice.

Looks hot! I'm curious how a black and white rendition of this scene would work. To me, the strength in this image comes from the gradient of patterns in the foreground, as well as the way the clouds mimic the desert holly. The colors almost seem to detract from these strengths and lower the interest of the image.
