...with varying amounts of vegetation. The first is a place called Moon Valley.
Feedback welcome.

Excellent shots, well done.

Scott I think that first one has some potential but both have too much contrast and nearly crushed(?) dark shadows/blacks...and it's not helping images /B

Both are nice. The light on the cotton grass against the shadow in the second shot is a great lead in.

Both are spectacular, harsh, but ideally suited to the light and the 'scape.

The first shot does look like it is from someplace other than earth...hence the name of the location. In the second shot some of the flower heads appear to be wind-blown but the stalks on which the flowers rest do not appear to be affected by the wind. This seems a bit odd to me. It is, however, a gorgeous photo, as are so many of yours, Scott.
Kind regards,
Sean

Thanks, folks, the comments are always appreciated.
Brandt, the original file does indeed have structure, so I need to go back to this. Good point.

Sean, there was a little wind, so I shot at 1/250 to freeze things. But I think the seed heads got their shape during many weeks of wind.

I like the photos, they have some punch, but in a nice way:)

The first image has an alien world feel. Love it.

The flowers in the 2nd are called "Linaigrettes" in our country.

Nicely done. I like how you seemed to embrace less than ideal conditions.

You are no stranger to bad weather yourself Matt, I gather from your postings. There are some good skies there.
Thanks to all for the additional feedback.

Agreed.
If there was one particularly valuable lesson among the many I learned from the Rockhopper trip I did to Iceland in February, it was that I should see the opportunities which are present when the weather was such that I'd normally have stayed indoors.
