Hello Pedro, a sharp shot in more ways than one!
The Joshua tree is such an interesting plant, and here in its natural environment amongst the cacti it looks quite wonderful.
A good point of view with the mountain in the bg.
The blue sky is the best backdrop.
Regards Jean.

Hello Pedro,
Great capture of this lonely tree as the by far largest piece of vegetation in the pretty empty desert. I like its slightly off-centred position.

Hola Pedro,

Amazing repetition of the prickly pear, and the big fg Joshua tree adds a wonderful graphic element against the lighter toned bg sky. Impeccable sharpness and the mountain peak at right nicely breaks the monotonously flat skyline. The 2 cattle add interest too. Tfs.

Hi Pedro,

Interesting shot, this unique tree is well positioned among the smaller cactuses with the mountain in the background.

TFS,
May

Hola Pedro,
The beautiful tree well captured with the wide sight of the cactus-fields. Info. is most appreciated, learnt for the first time about how long this tree can grow.
Buenas dias,
Ike
