I've visited Joshua Tree NP three of the last four weekends. I've discovered two scenes that I want to record. This is one of them; however, I'm not happy with the sky. Not only that but I had to process this on my laptop which could not handle the file size until I reduced the image down to 8 bits.
I tested a photoshop plugin called Viveza 2 to darken the sky a bit and bring out some definition; however, I think since I was forced to apply all the edits at 8 bits it did not come out as I had hoped. I don't like doing too much in PS anyway, the less the better. 99% pf the time all I do is clean dust, scratches, add a slight curves adjustment, sharpen, and that's it. All that being said I am pleased with the scene, and will be going back this weekend for yet another try.
I'm even more stoked about the other shot, which I will share after this weekend.
To be continued.

The color image looks very nice, but I wanted to see how it looks in B&W. Here's the result.

Sorry for the repost. I edited the image and replaced it on flicker which changed all the links.

Preston,
What a lovely image. The two trees play off of one another and I find the composition pleasing. My eyes kind of zig zag from the foreground to the sky following the highlights. I really like the large deep shadow from the main tree. This one of those pictures one can look for a long time and it wouldn't get tiring. Thanks for sharing this.
I love the oaks. Every time I go up to Yosemite I see those oaks south of Oakhurst. I need to make time to go out there in the fall and try to make some pictures.
