Beautiful IQ, Nice PoV and texture.

Harsh light handled well. Great b&w.

"Look Up you goose! Look Up! ". Very timely composition and capture on your part.

I like your choice of lens and focal length to exploit the the curved nature of the erosion bowl.

The sunspikes aren't as strong as in the b&w image, but I think the colour is a bonus for this scene, especially the prickly pear leaves.

Very nice conveyance of the scale of these magnificent trees. Just as I remember them from our trip. Colours spot on.

A leaf on an apple, must be fresh from your yard? The expression could be many things, =)

Fun shot. A real competition for attention between the in-focus apple and the slightly out of focus eyes.

Blossoms? Now?! Man, I live too far north... Beautiful light )

Interesting alabaster china doll effect. I've just bought some yellow filters for my b&w film work. Now I see I have to start experimenting with red now. Bloody hell. Does it ever end?
