Dust Devil on a Dry Lake

[JimMcClain]

I'm beginning to see a pattern: I seem to make my moodiest pictures right after seeing one of my doctors. I guess it's one way to be grateful for lung disease.

This is the White Lake area just NW of Reno, NV. Most of the year it's a dry lake. Today there were several dust devils winding their way across the lake bed. I stopped near this abandoned cattle shelter that I have taken pictures of in the past. The image below is my favorite. Your C&C is welcome.

Nikon D810, Tamron SP 24-70mm F2.8 Di VC USD at 55mm, f/11, 1/200s, ISO 100, hand-held.

Very cool scene; a little heavy on the processing for my taste, but nicely captured.

I love the clouds and the Dust Devil, but the colors seem a bit over saturated or over contrasty ... could be a bit darker also (at least on my monitor). What do you think of a B&W sepia? This says 'The American West' to me.
