About A sheperd tree (Boscia albitrunca) hugging a large granite boulder in the Southern Namibian desert at Numis, 60km south east of Sossusvlei. This specimen is a dwarfed replica (by the harsh conditions) of one of the most valuable fodder plants in the semi-arid to arid areas of Southern Africa. Taken with a long exposure about 15 minutes before sunrise while the whole area is submerged in the reflected light from the red granite boulders.

Most beautiful granite boulders in themselves (looks like one is smiling beneath the dwarf!). The plants such gorgeous colours and shapes. Great warm title and framing.

Wonderful variety of texture here Joggie... All the different grasses and the Shepherd tree is, in dwarfed state, reminiscent of a bonsai... carefully draped over the granite...

Looking at the harmony of the scene, appears to have been meticulously landscaped by Japanese gardner... Restful...

Certainly wonderful light you have used with care... :)

Thanks Tom for the comment. Unfortunately I couldnt get closer, very rough terrain.

Okay, that explains that very soft light and the saturated colors. Really striking and compelling image, congrats! By chance, did you get in close to that tree and boulder and do some close-ups of the white bark against the rock? Would love to see them if you did.
