Outstanding composition, lighting, shading, contrast and artwork! F/L voted

It's so nice when people like you understand one's attempt to capture the art found in nature. This is indeed, as you said, like a wild sculpture. Thanks so much for your comment, Patricia, and for your vote and fave.

Very interesting capture. Enjoyed your description. It is like a wild sculpture. v/f

Thank you, Adel. I appreciate your kind words.

Wonderful image......

Thank you, Jim. My inspiration came from a coffeetable book that used many black-and-whites to dramatically depict the area. Glad to know it was effective here.

The black and white really enhances the image and story. Very nice Connie. f/v
