This image is very meaningful. B&W is a good choice for it to. Great use of white space.
I saw plenty of vultures like this one circling around everywhere I went. I kept reminding them that as long as I was still moving that they had to keep their great big beaks off me! They waited patiently for me to keel over but I fooled them and got out! - Steve

Honey, I Shrunk the Steve!

Ya know, I was wondering exactly what happened to me. All is clear to me now. It makes perfect sense. This explains everything - why I could not see to find my way out, how I could not locate known landmarks, how I could travel large distances everyday but still get nowhere and why I could be lost for so long in such a small area without finding my way out. Thanks! I feel a lot better. ;) - Steve

Like the barn and the framing. Looks like there was a bit to much noise reduction applied. Wished I'd have been pictured with a cute babe up in the loft. That rendition looks almost like the way I really felt. LOL! - Steve

Have you seen this man? (Last seen in Superstition Mountains)
by Pander

Comment:
Great picture. It is even in the correct general area where I was lost. If only I could have seen this classic top of the Superstitions I'd have been fine. It makes a perfect landmark guide for finding your way around in. The flyer is perfectly placed. Great job! - Steve

Follow Steve's Footprints, And You Will Find Him

Ah Hah! Great thought! The shoe pattern even looks like the pattern on the ones I was wearing. Get a storm blow through tho and all those nice prints in the sand are either blown away by the wind or swept away by monsoon rains. - Steve

The Backyard
by sadiebird

Comment:
If this is your backyard I'm jealous. This looks like it was taken on the south side of the Superstitions and not far from the Peralta trailhead turnoff. If you go all the way over to the other side of Supersitions from here further north from the mountains than this location is south of them then you will be approximately in the area where I was lost. The main difference is the terrain on the other side is a lot more rugged. - Steve

Profile

Nice owl profile. The dark background makes the profile stand out well. Good brown tones and overall capture.
Unsure if this image is to imply that stdavidson is wise since everyone knows by now that anyone dumb enough to get lost in the desert has to be a few boulders short of a complete rock outcrop, if you get my drift. :)
During my desert trek I did see one owl and heard many others in the night. Arizona has lots of owls, some big and some small. The tiny Elf Owl makes its home in the giant suguaro cactus. - Steve

Now which direction did he go?

Good question... I still haven't figured out where I went. One thing certain, the roads were not that nice. :) You got decent tones in your B&W capture. - Steve

At One With Nature
by alanfreed

Comment:
Good wide-angled image. You capture the expanse of sunflowers well and also get the near ones large in the frame and tack sharp. The sunflower with the ghost image is a little scary though. :) We had a spectacular wildflower season a couple years ago in Arizona and I was very disappointed in that I did not capture the immensity of it well. You did a great job here. You are right, I was "At one with Nature" but now I think I need to be "At one with Civilization" for a while. ;) - Steve

Searching the Superstition Mountains

Good silhouette and the blue and gold colors are spectacular. This is my kind of imagery.
This picture is very revealing. You can plainly see that I was so lost that I did not even know which way to point a camera anymore, even if I'd had one. One of the unfortunate aspects of the whole experience is I did not even get a single picture to show from it. It is good there were no pictures of me, though. I looked frightful, probably 30 years older and felt like an old weatherworn prospector. - Steve
