It’s Lonely At The Top
This lonely tree grows on a rock outcropping in the Grand Canyon of The Yellowstone. I photographed it one cloudy morning but the result was even, flat lighting, leaving the photo without much of a sense of perspective. The next day I was lucky enough to return at just the right time. The cliff face and tree were bathed in the warm, direct morning sunlight but the opposing canyon wall and the foreground elements were still in shadow. As a result, the subject is literally highlighted.
It is a cool photo!
Stunning image. The lighting is perfect. I love Yellowstone.
Thank you. Yellowstone is an amazing place.
I love this! Beatiful!

Great Photo. You gotta be there to get it.
Thanks! Yes, being in the right place at the right time is definitely a big part of the challenge.
