Drought

This is an artificial riverbed which is totally dried up in this season. This unlike my previous HDR images (5 exposures), is composed of 7 stacked shots, 2/3 exposure apart.

this is good one! the technique you employed presents every object on the photo in great detail and colour... and the composition is wonderful as well! love the converging lines...

Perfect angle, I liked the way you have set the DOF, that gives a real feel of depth to the image. apt exposure, perfect one.

با اينکه فضاي برداشت خيلي باز است ولي به دليل نوع رنگها و فرم ابرها مقداتري احساس خفگي ميکنم!
عمق ميدان ديد برداشت در زيبايي خيلي تاثير خوبي داشته و موفق باشي

great capture. i don't think we really realize how bad the water situation is getting here. there's already wars over it in other parts of the world. where is the water for this place supposed to come from?

@danthro: I know what ya sayin', it's unfortunate. The water comes from upstream inside some body's ranch.

Really nice.. so that's how you manage to make some ugly places look so good. I know these artificial drainages and they aren't generally pretty.

welcome to TX. I also see the huge Texas trucks! I feel sorry for them now that gas is going to $4!
