Dead Vlei, Namibia. These Acacias are hundreds of years old when presumably there was some water here. Fly to this location (Requires Google Earth ) +++ replaced with a larger version +++

To me these trees seem a little like they are doing a spot of Tai Chi or perhaps dancing. I was going for a deliberately flat look here, to try and convey a little of how it felt to be out there under the harsh sun. So I went for a wall of orange sand behind the trees standing on a strip of pale pan floor. It wasn't too hard to avoid shadows! Looking again I am wondering if it might benefit from a slight crop on the right and top.

Deadvlei in the Namib desert Namibia. Minimal post-processing so these really are the colours.
