Medusa Tree
This attractive juniper pine straddles the rim in the Island In The Sky section of Canyonlands National Park. It stands as our surrogate, daily enjoying the magnificent colors of the valley below. The 3-exposure HDR helped bring out detail from the evening shadows.

Wow!! The very best of the best from the remarkable series of your Utah visit, Marty! This is magnificent. Breathtaking. Quality HDR work, beautiful color, light and shadows...the detail thruout is wonderful but the texture and light on your wild-haired pine is just superb. Pure magic - excellent capture and work. Fav'd.
