Great photo, Steve! I guess people aren't as partial to "desert silence" as they are to "woods silence", or "water silence". Maybe it's just too dry out here for some other folk.

SWEET! UTAH I am on my way...soon. This reminds of the area around Blanding and the Grand Gulch. Get out there. silent enough to hear your own heartbeat. I love that. Is the sand a little oversaturated? otherwise, great lines and shadows.

color seems a little over saturated, too bright, too high contrast

Love the colors and the detail of the tracks in the sand.

Beautiful landscape and very sharp and good image. The colortones are litle strange, think its lack a litle more colorsaturation.

A place I've always wanted to visit. I can just imagine the silence. I like how you did this shot.

beautiful colors.. i love long light shots.. too bad the rock on the left has more shadow than rock showing.. i wonder if the shot might have been better with the camera aimed a little more to the left.. nice shot..

I like the colors and composition - not very original, but good. A ground level view would add some drama, but I'm not sure if it'd be any better. Worth a try though

I could hear the wind making the ripples on the desert floor... while taking in the grandure of the place.

This is a beautiful image with wonderful lines, textures and colours. For silence however, it's a bit too vibrant for my liking. The exotic nature of the subject gets in the way of transmitting a sense of silence.

Classic. I want to be there.

Now this is a place in which to sit quietly and appreciate all the good things in one's life. Colours seem oversaturated. Composition isn't strong for me - if there were only one rock formation off to a side it would work, but with two of them my eye ends up kind of falling in the (boring) empty patch of sky between them.

A very nice photo, but doesn't exactly scream silence to me.
