It's a BUSH...and a damn nice one at that!

It is rather nice! It looks frost-rimed, but I suspect that's just the way it got rendered?

I wish it were a little more separated from the background, and I am not convinced that the road/path in the foreground does much. Did you make another exposure from a lower angle?

For me the shadow in the lower right is an essential part of the image, nicely contrasting with the sunlit bush. Nice one!

I think it's an image that needs to be printed to be appreciated.  I'll send you my address and...  ;D

Thanks for the comments. It's certainly not frost - I took it in Valley of Fire last October and it was about 25°C at the time.

Sadly, I didn't use a lower angle but I see what you mean. The road is necessary because without it, there's no shadow and I'd miss that.

It would be a lot easier for me to send you the file, Mike, which of course I'd be happy to do.

Nice light and treatment to the image but overall it seems a bit busy for my taste.
