| Love this shot. I wasn't aware of this locations name before but this place is also used for the nik snapseed example shot - I had to get my phone to check it wasn't the same image... your capture is much better though =). The clouds forming around this tree almost as though they were its leaves is fantastic. |

| Love the stark tonal contrast. Are these burned trees? Fascinating how the roots stick up from the ground like that. |

This is a beautifully rendered image - brave to offer up a monochrome despite the rig colours available to you. It works very well though.
Great stuff. |

| I like the curving line of the trees in the composition. Nicely toned, too. |

| Amazing how the clouds seem to jut out like extensions of the branches. Lovely starkness and tones. Well done. |

| The parched ground the the dead looking trees really make your title ring true. Your composition is right on with the curve of the trees leading the eye - very well done 7 |

| Seldom seen in B&W, but perhaps more powerful so. Very good. |

| This is nice. The processing matches the landscape - stark, bold. Great job. |

| Lovely comp and I think the exposure was well handled - just enough detail in the bark of the tree. Was this Doodvlei or Sossusvlei? Hope you enjoyed the trip there - on my bucket list of things to do! |

| Love the use of negative space to emphasize the tree. |

| Interesting black and white version of the Death Valley, Namibia and the second in this challenge. Those clouds make this a unique shot of a much photographed subject. |

| I really like how the clouds almost seem to fill out as "leaves" for the foreground tree. |

| I like this high key landscape. |
|

| yep that'll do good old desert landscape with dead trees and nice sky, 8 |

| Very atmospheric, almost like a still from a sci-fi movie. Nicely focused. Good job. |

| Gorgeous image. (8) Wonder if it could even stand a little bit more contrast? Although, that's just a personal taste thing I suppose, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it as it is. |
|

|

| A single tree would probably be more powerful composition |
|
|
|

| Great B/W, maybe a bit too dark the upper part of sky compared to the rest of the image. A really good work! |
|

| Like a crack in the very fabric of the photograph. Wonderful. |

Branches stretch to the sky.
Roots radiate out across earth.
I thirst for touch
of my fellow kind.
In sight, but far from reach.
What struck me as interesting in this shot is that the tree in the foreground seems to be reaching out in branch, root, and even the shadow to it tree brethren scattered far apart in the landscape. It makes the scene even more parch and desolate. |

| Now this is my kind of shot. Love it. Top 10, or 20. |

| Very nice, this shot is awesome, would also make a perfect surrounding for a fashion shoot, where is this? |
