Figured I may as well go ahead and post the last of this 'series' I shot a couple of days ago. Hope nobody gets bored by the repetition.
Both of these shots are among the more complex images I've made. Not only by virtue of the somewhat 'busy' nature of the scenes in view, but by way of the steps and procedures it took to assemble them. In effect, both are made of multiple horizontally shot images, and both contain portions that had been focus stacked, sections that were layered, composited and blended, and ultimately made into vertical 'portrait orientation' panos.
I rather like this tree. From some angles, it looks almost goofy. But in a warm, pleasant, welcoming sort of way, with its arms outstretched and looking like its ready to give somebody a big hug.

No sir, these trees are not just trees in isolation. They have context and tell a story. Thank you.

After seeing your images and reading their backstory, I have concluded that I am just too lazy to be a good photographer. You carry the banner, Jim. I'll happily cheer with the crowd.

Jimmy .., Jimmy .., Jimmy ., is there no end to your perfectibility in your adventurous pursuit of the adventurous photography you continue to exhibit in every shot ... heck .., I’m already out of breath with the amount or work to make these outstanding works of natural art ..., scouting out the locations ...hiking with the equipment .., choosing the perfect time .., and then if that wasn’t enough .., you focus stack , blend, layer , composite , and then give them to a low flying UFO for Out of this world editing ... and finally post with the modesty of a retired park ranger sitting on his front porch sipping a cactus tea while petting your pet armadillo ...

Uh, thanks, Doc. But to set the matter straight, its a porcupine, not an armadillo. And its said 'pet' porcupine who's drinking that gawd-awful cactus tea. In my glass is a fine double-oaked bourbon.

Can't get bored with beauty like that.

Well, something good to be said about this Covid thing. It keeps you social distancing in the desert or in your man cave mixing and stirring. Adding a dollop of good bourbon here and there, picking a stray porcupine quill out of the caldron. Putting a couple band-aides on after scratching the pets ears. Musing and figgerin' until Poof! A small cloud of acrid smoke and you have produced another(!) Master Piece!!
Once upon a time I thought I would like to meet you in that center of magic and beauty called Moab. But I'm afraid the burning bush would incinerate me. I don't think I'm worthy.
