Lovely to see the variations. Light and color really make a change.
ReplyDeleteInteresting work. Favorite is the first, full sepia. Next favorite is the last, making the bird look like a watercolor painting. Well done.

These are beautiful photos, Diane..I like the look and feel in each picture..
ReplyDeleteI am always astounded by the ribs of a dying/dead Saguaro. Deeply moving and majestic. The little bird takes my heart.

Great photo work of a wonderful subject!!
ReplyDeleteNice capture of the little sparrow.
ReplyDeleteAll shots are great...full, half...
ReplyDeletehappy WW!
They're all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe cacti are so arty looking when they begin to decay. They make great photo subjects!
ReplyDeleteLove the sepia on the top photos. The tan sepia seems to be right for the desert when not in bloom. Many years ago when I visited AZ in the summer (110-115F), and the summer colors tended more toward gray. This monochrome really gives a warm (not the desert temps!) look to the tree. The tones are softer here, The original is a natural beauty, the sepia a nice enhancement!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, My fav is the 2nd picture. The half-sepia one is gorgeous!!!! BUT--they are all nice.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
