A Long Road To Here.

Strong & Compelling image, marred noticeably by two things: the house on the right is screaming out for some breathing room so it can take its rightful place as a counter-element, and there's a noticeable sharpening (or contrast) halo around the figure that really hurts. On a more contemplative note, I'm not 100% sure the pure, central symmetry of this shot was the correct choice. I'm not against symmetry per se, I use it a lot msyelf, but in this case the image seems to speak a little more strongly to me if about an eighth or a fifth of the image is cropped off, all that the bottom, to give it a much more hoeizontal orientation; this seems to emphasize the emptiness better. It's a gut-call though. Nice shot! Bumping you up.

Ah man, I rememeber this view so well. Instant favorite on nostalgia alone. The sky's fabulous, as is the layering of depth.

I'm with Neil on this one; I have other images from the same shoot that are done from an angle that has no glare, and they have no power at all. Without the brightness, we lose most of the sense of depth, the sense of "huge" contained in such a small slice of sand.

That's a hell of a title. Cotton wagons? Nice conversion too.

This is very amusing but The pure 50/50 split of the roofline is destroying the dynamics of the composition, as is the juxtaposition of the girl witht he edge of the building...

That Mog's a car I'd love to own. Picture's a little cluttered to my eyes though.

Congrats on the ribbon! Excellent night shot, maybe even better if you darkened it down a zone.
