Jeremy,
Congratulations on the success of this very fine image. I may have under-voted it at 7 the first time round ... now that I have had a second look I see even more good qualities. The very nice shadows at the outer edge of the arches and down the pillars is one more positive feature I failed to give due credit for during the challenge. I think 8 might have been a better score. I am interested in the conflicting views about the inclusion of the person's figure, expressed in the comments below. I have tried the shot with and without, and I have no doubt you were certainly correct to include her. The figure gives both scale and life to the image. I can almost hear her footsteps! So well done. I learned quite a bit from studying your image. Thanks. Paul.

Comment by Brad:
Unusual composition and subject matter. Lighting and detail are good, rich in color without being over-saturated, and has an interesting point of view. ((8))

Watched you take this and I like it very much. Glad there is no frame. The passerby adds a nice perspective. I am not a fan of thin crops, but this works well to accentuate the repeated pattern of the arches. Much good luck, Jeremy. I hope it does well! Mine sucks to high heaven so you should certainly have me beat.

Similar to my entry. I like the repeating patterns, and the person to add some scale. Very cool.

Looks a little like a cannabis patch. Funny no one mentioned that.
