As I was hiking the desert this last winter, I spotted an area where rain had collected and created thisĀ pattern. What I thought was very interesting was how the mud was totally wet and then following the cracks, totally dry. It made for a nice composition was my feeling and I shot it with an iPhone.

But you can see by this pre-processed image below, the photo would not work without some good processing since it was totally flat looking.
