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...
