HOW I GOT THE  SHOT:  The desert has its own unique beauty as well as a host of  photographic challenges to overcome. These include dust, heat, inaccessibility  and extremely contrasty light from the first moments of morning until late  afternoon. This photo, taken just after sunrise, is further evidence that the  golden hours always bear fruit and that rising before dawn has its rewards. A  variety of textures give feeling to this image while a gentle, curving line  provides depth. Using a strong foreground element, such as these colorful rocks,  is essential to drawing the viewer into the photo and giving the landscape both  dimension and impact.
