Got to agree, this is soooo cool. Well, it's the desert, so it's really hot, but, well, you get the idea!

Shannon, just saw this. Great image. Tells a nice story, very unique , lots of impact. Composition is perfect IMO. Wish there was more details in the sand & a little overexposed in the top right portion of the sand.

I hate when that happens! Great image just the same.

Btw, K10DGuy championed this photo in the posthumous ribbon thread.

agree with comments - interesting composition, kinda weird technicals on it but I know how that happens. Fun shot, would be great to see this as a series in order to make more sense of it.

really unique and more dream like with the grain then it would have been without.

This is pretty awesome... to capture something along the lines of fantasy and surrealism with your camera...

I love this photo. It was one of my "silent sevens," which means I marked it 7 because I liked it, but then neglected to pay any more attention to it.

This is a great shot; the angle of the shadow is dramatic placed in the corner & elongated. Very effective contrast with the sand. I think the colors of the sky & the rainbow, beautiful as they are, detract from the subject.

Highlights are blown, noise everywhere, horizon is tilted...

but this shot gets high marks and is simply gorgeous nonetheless.

Rainbow, sand, shadow, and grain. It feels like a recollection of a memory of a better time viewed from a sad distance. Poetic.

Good idea, too grainy

Strangely delightful.
