Superb image Jacob -- amazing sky and reflection on the sand! As Alister pointed out, the yucca is a great subject!!!

Another beautiful image. I love the colors here. I might have gotten a little higher here to prevent the "leaves" of the yucca from blending with the BG and sky...its minor, but if they were all against the sand, I think it would be a slightly cleaner comp.

Thank you very much for the kind comments. Greg, I agree re: leaves. It is something that I wish I had done, but unfortunately, it only occurred to me once I got home. :(

Yep, an inch higher would've been nice, but super as is. Love the color and the central comp is very effective.

Another really pleasing image from this area. I love the soft pink/purple color throughout the image. I like the up close and personal view of the Yucca in this one. A very interesting subject to explore.
