WinterÊCre ek Cienega Creek runs the length of Sonoita Valley, and is lined with an intriguing web of cottonwood and willow trees. Not a soft nature photo, this image holds abundant opportunity for alteration by the inventive borderlands photographer. This picture’s moodiness can be enhanced by using contrast adjustments or by introducing a pale bluish hue to indicate cold. The photo is then magically transformed from achromatic to monochromatic!
LadderbackÊi nÊW inter A splash of red on the noggin of this ladder-backed woodpecker bird accents this achromatic image, photographed near Box Canyon of the Santa Ritas, Fluffed against the frosty morning in this picture, this woodpecker is a year-round resident of the southwestern United States and can be found punching holes in trees and storing nuts throughout the area.
