It never ceases to amaze me how any type of plant life can survive in the rugged environment of Death Valley. I found this colorful cottontop cactus and desert holly at Hell's Gate while co-teaching a recently concluded workshop with Gary Hart. This image was a combination of (5) 1-stop shutter bracketed frames put together in Photomatix Pro 3.0 software. I fine-tuned it with Nik Viveza software. If you would like to learn this technique and more, please join me in one of my upcoming workshops.
