A good hike back into White Sands National Monument brought me to this lone yucca plant.

Thanks everyone. Susana, great image from White Sands yourself! I think it has to be one of the most fantastic places to create imagery. JQ #4711570James Quantz Jr. August 28, 2007
Hey Amanda- This image is almost straight out of the camera. The main adjustment would have to be the use of a polarizer in this location. I wanted to darken the sky and at the same time the sun reflecting off the sand is diminished giving the yellow tone to what is normally "white". Otherwise, the normal adjustments of contrast & saturation were used. #4712396Melissa G. Meiselman September 21, 2007
