Wonderful image, great magnification. The angle of view and the whole image seems to be different from where I live in the world, I wonder where you live?

Comment by Alecia:
This photo tells a great story of a drought. You can practically feel the heat rising from the dry, parched earth. The detail is wonderful, from the dark depth of the crevasses to the fine lines on top of the soil. It makes a very nice close up shot. I think, however, I might have liked a different angle for more impact--perhaps an angle close to the ground as is, but then reaching farther into the horizon to encompass a broader area---to show just how desolate this drought really is. Technically, this is really nice--your darks and lights have good contrast. I like the slight glare of the white because it enhances how bright and hot the sun really is. All in all, I really like this, very nice work!

What zoom do you have? Have you fooled me? This is almost to good to be a photo taken by someone other than at a plantetarium. I have to know how you did this. This is awesome. PTL 10
