Description

This was taken out at the Devils River State Natural Area in Texas, during a New Moon weekend. I'm pretty proud of this one, especially of how much detail I was able to get and how the brown dust  and colors came out. It still has a few problems like the purple haze at the top I couldn't figure out how to get rid of or the blown out core, but they're pretty minor. Next time I'll grab some short exposures for the core and some even longer exposures for the surrounding dust and create a true HDR image.
