You got the wrong species. Cottonwood is a wet climate tree. Also, either Don t crop so tight or back up. Better luck next time.
You know, woodweasel, I cropped the image the way I wanted to, to include the dry watercourse leading on to the distant grove of trees. Believe this gives the image more interest and balance. You notice I didn't say "texture" in the title or description and crop it to a single dimension object, like you're suggesting. And, good luck in your photo endeavors...might as well share the wealth

I recognize that tree; saw it a couple of years during a hike of the canyon and I think I have a picture or 3 of it. It's truly interesting to see in person.

Thanks Jederick for your great image of the old cottonwood. It brought to mind one of my favorite books by the now passed anthropologist Keith H. Basso, Wisdom Sits in Places: Landscape and Language Among the Western Apache. Our world tends be linear, this happens and then this follows. The Western Apache were more place oriented. They would assign moral lessons to places where certain events had occurred. These they would remember and recount later as instructive warnings. These ' ' agadzaahi' stories are almost always short and always start with the name of the place such as "It happened at T'iss Cho Naasikadd'e (Big Cottonwood Trees Stand Here and There) then the story is told about events that happened there which impart a lesson. The story always ends with the name of the place. It happened at Big Cottonwood Trees Stand Here and There". I realize this is not the usual comment on a photograph, but great photographs can lead our minds to unexpected places. Thanks.
