The dune texture is amazing, looks like this could be a ghost tree of Namibia!

Looking at this does make one wonder how all the sand got here. I love your POV, but then you are excellent at that. Your lighting and tones are so wonderful.

Your natural subjects are almost human-like sometimes. This cedar seems to be longing for better days. Impeccable lighting, color, composition. Wonderful!

The photo is good, but the prose: "Time wears the sinews of ancient cedars doomed ..." Reads like Poe.
