I had no clue what a moving rock was, I asked my wife and she said google it, its an amazing phenomenon. I did and it is just weird, strange and increible.
Fabulous photo, and I learned something.

| I can't think of many shots that are so perfectly executed. To me, this capture stands in a category all it's own. Congrats on a very worthy ribbon entry. Truly a blue in my book... :) |

awsome shot!!! Great job.
Do they have an explanation yet for that moving rock phenomenon? |

I've never heard of this before. I did some looking around about it and found this:
Moving rock truth revealed
Great photo by the way and congrats on your ribbon. I hope I can get to Death Valley someday to see these for myself.

This photo makes me wish that the resolution of submissions in challenges could be increased - I'd like to see more details on the rock and the tracks/ground. Not your fault, definately.
very interesting photo with a well deserved win.
Congrats.

Wow. Thanks to everybody who took the time to make constructive comments and push me up into third place. I had a feeling all along that I was fighting for third place along with the Tiger picture and of course the other Moving Rock picture - the top two were in a league of their own.
Living on the East Coast, I find it hard to compete with the scenic photos from Iceland or the Western US. So I knew I had my shot to get something good when I visited Death Valley and was luckily able to come away with some great pics.
I was pretty surprised to see another Moving Rock picture and even more amazed that people made comments simply to tell me there was another one like mine. I actually took a bunch looking the other way like gaurawa did, but I prefered the rock in the foreground.
For those that asked how the rocks move... nobody knows. Just type in "Racetrack Moving Rocks" into Google and you'll get a bunch of theories. It's an interesting place. |

Congrats Rich. Well captured!
It was a great surprise to see another moving rock in the challenge :)
I was there on the 18th, but a bit late, I might have reached after 5pm and the sun was already down... |

| There's another moving rocks photo in the challenge so naturally I'm comparing the 2. This one doesn't have as much impact as the other one. This seems a bit too bright at the bottom. Also, the other one has the rock further in the photo and it sort of leads you into the picture, but this does not. |

Two photos like this in the challenge? I would never have figured. Hopefully you and the other person with the same subject don't split the vote on this (so to speak).
As for the photo, I really like the contrast, perspective and detail. The transition from foreground to background is very smooth. You get a good sense of scale. The lines the rock created does a great job in carrying your eyes throughout the photo.
The only negative I have is I'm not in love with the color selection for the duotone. I think this would look better in b/w but I can certainly see why you didn't go that route for this challenge. |

| The textures seem a bit fuzzy...ie the cracks. It seems a bit unbalanced to me. The clouds on top on the right with the rock on the bottom right. And then the dark hill on the left with empty space directly above and below. Not to say its bad just makes me eyes draw to the empty spaces. Which may have been your point. I still gave it a 7. |
