That seems to be the way it works. - jim

Beautiful texture and repetition ...

I understand why some would not, but I like the bit of movement the right branch gives to the composition and framed it to be included. To my eye the narrow end of the shriveled leaf points down there, and it, along with the out of focus diagonals makes a bit more dynamic what would otherwise be a very static representation.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.. I quite understand why you would make it.

Thank you!

Fantastic detail and focal work ...

Thanks. It is an often stark but amazing place.

thank you, Carole.

Thank you Miehrman. I think it tells a tale about the health of the bosque, which isn't good.

Thank you, Carole.

It's a fun place to sit, have a coffee and empanada, and watch.
