Gorgeous Ken!!! Wonderful capture post processing! Congratulations on this excellent finalist! #10710036Ken Koskela May 27, 2013
Hi, Renee... and thanks very much for the comment. I loved shooting Deadvlei... if you can get there some time, I highly recommend it. I generally had the place to myself in the early morning and evening. Except for a bunch of mean bees who discovered I was there.Just returned from my 9 days with Marc Adamus in Pacific NW. Workshop was excellent. #10710255

Hi, Ken - Thanks very much. This was my first time shooting in the Pacific NW and first time out with Marc. Oregon coast was amazing. Marc's workshop was incredible... he's an awesome teacher. Be prepared to get very wet if you ever do his Pacific NW workshop.Hope you have a great time in Oregon.

Where is this amazing place?Catherine Kiel June 24, 2013
I love this shot! Surreal , dramatic, thought provoking. Thank you!Ken Koskela June 24, 2013
Hi, Jeanne - This is in the Namibian desert, about 6-8 hours drive from the capital city Windhoek. The place is called "Deadvlei".... it's a petrified dead tree forest surrounded by dunes. Definitely an amazing place.
