[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This pile of strewn branches of a dead tree was photographed at Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, USA. This is heavily processed in Photoshop to bring out the details and grains of the deadwoods. I photographed this for the varying textures seen within the frame.

Bryce Canyon National Park does not contain one main canyon, but rather a dozen smaller ravines eroded into the east side of a ridge at the edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southwest Utah. This erosion has resulted in thousands of bizarre and fragile rock formations in many subtle shades of pink, white, yellow and red. The Park is named after Ebenezer Bryce, a Mormon farmer who was the first modern-day settler in the region. The park is located about 270 miles northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada and about 270 miles south of Salt Lake City. It is 85 miles northeast of Zion National Park.

Hi Andre,

What a great artistic composition with a wonderful perspective!
The sharpness is crisp and the POV is well chosen. The colors are very well shown and the dried tree stands out well against the dark earthy BG. Very well thought shot!

thanks and regards,
Paras
