B+W Contrast in the Karoo- Death in life

[altopiet]

Some landscape from the Karoo. The region is very arid and not very colourfull. This was taken at the dam supplying the town with water
Any C+C welcome

Very nice; well executed. My only thoughts on this are, perhaps a very subtle curves adjustment to lighten up the branches just a little, and maybe considering shooting another image or two further right and creating a panoramic shot.

Thank you. My thoughts were the "death" as in dead tree, and dark left, versus "life" as in water and light on the other side, but you have a point, maybe the tree is just a bit to dark. That tree will not go anywhere soon, so when I get some time, I'll give it another go

I really like this pic it kinda being a little sad yet pretty if that makes any sense

Very cool! I second the idea of a pano.

I really like the composition of this image... The right side is a tad blown out... other than that, nice!
