I'm feeling uneasy about my id as cottonwood... if that is the same
tree... hmmm.. The cottonwoods in Dans other photsow ere already
turning.. but they were not out in the blistering sun..
But I found a shot that may have that tree in it from 1985 - and the
dogs playing.. butwe werenot in the parking area where the tree was...
stay tuned this is a fun game

My solution in this situation in days of film was to slap on a red
filteron the camera with the bW film in it... Dan could do the same in
photo shop and improve it quite a bit I think...
I agree with you, Ann.
In fact I photographed that exact same tree in 2013 during a quick stop
at the Rio Grande Gorge (heading for Alamosa). The light wasn't
wonderful when I was there either so I warmed it a tad in Photoshop.
Here's my memory of that stop-over:

(I might not have photographed it if it wasn't for the colourful ice
cream truck parked under it)

I hardly shot anything at that particular location it isn't a very
handsome spot.. but I do often use photos as trip markers... I was
thinking of looking to
see if I met that tree back in the 80's... I know I drove over that
bridge in 2001. scary bridge!acrophobia city. When I was there two
dogs were having
a tussleand I mainly photo'ed them

Not to be elitist about this, but I wouldn't take this shot if the
light wasn't acceptable - I don't see a reason to capture the image
when I know it already has major faults built it - YMMV

I like it. I appreciate that as others have stated the light isn't
wonderful, but sometimes you have to work with what you have and live
with
it.
I had a difference of opinion recently with a photographer with letters
after his name for this medium; he was not adverse to changing (quite
dramatically) light or removing elements from the photo with
software. I'm
happy to use Lightroom to enhance the image and remove spots, but
otherwise
it stops being what you saw. I have no doubt an artist would simply
paint
what he wanted. I've looked at your image several times Dan, and I've
taken
many pictures which would benefit from a more dramatic sky. I still like
this as it stands.
