The Little Cholla That Glowed

Tthe Teddy-bear cholla in Joshua Tree National Palrk comes into its own for photographers when back-lit at sunrise or sunset. The back-lit needles just glow in this light. While we were photographing the sunrise at Barker Dam during our Joshua Tree workshop, I noticed this little cholla plant glowing against the boulders. When you are out during a sunrise or sunset and concentrating on the 'big picture', don't forget to look at smaller things you can use as design elements in your compositions.
