About the Image(s)

The famous Ponderosa Pine at White Pocket in the Vermillion Cliffs area of Arizona stands alone in a field of brain rocks, so called because of the textural likeness to that of a human brain. It is the only tree in White Pocket as I recall.
Captured on my first visit to White Pocket in June 2011 using a Canon EOS 20D converted to Infrared fitted with the Canon 24-105mm lens, 1/125 sec, f 11, ISO 100.
Converted to pure monochrome in SEP 2 and further processed following my normal workflow. Finessed in Topaz DeNoise AI and sharpened using the High Pass filter in Overlay mode and sharpening halos removed where necessary.
