Great capture & treatment, Dale! Very much suits your subject. BTW, shot at Death Valley with a group -- 2 days & 1 more sunrise. Amazing place! #1516770

Thanks Katherine. Aging photos is one of my favorite things to do.

Agree on Death Valley. An old friend and I spent four day there about two years ago. #10588765
