 To be honest, this was sorta an experiment in minimalism, and venturing outside of my norm. I didn't really care how it scored and didn't expect much since it is certainly not in the vein of DPC. Kudos to my girlfriend for the title, especially since it is for her work that I garnered my single comment during voting.
This area holds a special appreciation to me- I love the plains of eastern Colorado. It's very bleak, sparse. It's the frontier that was conquered but then has reclaimed itself, expelled people and stayed open. Trees are very unusual out here, and so are people. It's very easy to lose yourself.
Interestingly, I discovered later that someone whom would become one of my favorite photographers took a similar photo within a few miles of mine.
