That first one made me go back to look at it a few times. Very neat.

The last one I sort of wish you'd took it landscape, wide angle to convey just how lonely that tree was. Sunset backlit with just the outline on it would've been killer.

Nice shots, was your camera in an automatic mode? The good sonys have always taken nice pics.

Considering the lenses he was using, I am pretty sure that he wasn't in auto

Thanks! These shots were in Aperture Priority and a couple in Manual. Also played around with a diffused flash on some of the shots.

Borbor, I see what you mean about the landscape composition. I'll try and do that the next time I go back. Too bad it was voggy and couldn't see the sunset the 4 days I was there. Thanks!

C&C always welcomed! Thanks!

Vog remains the bane of my existence, at least as a photographer.
