Q: Why are some of the contest photos obviously photoshopped?
A: Do you know?

Simple scene. A desert hill, some foreground growth and a monsoon storm growing on the horizon. But that's the simplicity I love sometimes. I tend to look for super dramatic, wide-angle, busy scenes...but occasionally I find the lack of drama just as awesome.
The main element in the foreground is a dead tree of some sort...it almost looks like a bird sitting on one of the right top branches, but I think it's just a snapped branch. There are a few cacti and of course, the growing storm behind it all. I dig B&W and love silhouettes...I always find it amazing how a scene can change so much when you just darken it to shadows and nothing more. The shapes take on new life and suddenly form something entirely different.
