Light and texture

Sitting around a Colorado Rockies campsite when I noticed the beautiful sunset lighting on the ground. Not much great about the photos but wow, such amazing lighting and textures of the dead plants.

I photograph many along this Theme, but rarely does it work out as well as I envision.

I like the second photo the best because my eye is attracted to the single upright stem with the single curling leaf and shadow.

Both are great photographs and thank you for posting.

Thanks. Yeah, I think this was at 8900 ft (2700m) so the light that evening was just amazing. As these are lower res copies, they aren't as clear and detailed as the originals, either.

These have nice texture and lighting. I like the first one the most. It reminds me of the glowing gown or golden hair of an oread of the Rockies.

Thanks. I'd never heard of an oread until now!

Am I the only one who see a funny face with a knife for mustache in the First one?

...and those teeth. Definitely from up the hollow near Coal Fork.
