Description I've always liked this one. We just happened upon this sign, lying there on the desert floor. Most of the Indians in the region make their money during the summer via the park and her visitors. In late October, most things had been packed away...

Very unusual... Almost unique, and just barely bordering on the tip of reality where the Twilight Zone treads (as indicated by the footprints) by and apparently swept up the 'Little Indian Girl' along with it...

I sooo love everything about this shot!! (needs a bigger scan*hint-hint*) I love the sign first off thats a really nice touch, but the COLORS!! the red of the sand floing up to the slate blue/reddy color of the rock formation with the intense blue of the sky!! this is just amazing work!!

I really like the colors in this one. From the reddish brown tones of the earth to the blue sky & white wispy clouds above, they appeal to the eye. Not only that but the textures in this photo are interesting for you have the pitted ground & the whispy clouds. The other objects that capture and hold the viewer's attention are the mountains in the background and the tossed sign in the foreground. A good composition showing nature and man's impact on nature. One last thing on the clouds, perhaps it was intentional or just a lucky coincidence, but one of the clouds in the far left appears to look like a cresent moon. This gives the photo a "twilight" feel to it which adds a symbolic dimension to the discarded sign. The photo is an excellent piece and should be at a higher resoloution and size for one to enjoy it more.

I like your gallery, but I particularly like this picture. It is beautifully taken, great colors, composition... There's something very sad about this picture, though.

Now, after seeing your gallery, I am wondering if you ever stay in one place or if you are always travelling.

Great use of "Rule of Thirds" and the color and detail...impressive. What I like most is the social statement it makes. Another one for my favorites!

I would love to see a larger resolution of this. I like looking at it. It's beautifully pensive.

This captures a moment in time. It also gives a lot of atmosphere of the location, the Native Indians selling things everywhere they can, even there own images.

Wow, I'm not much of a photographer so I don't know the technical words for what I want to say, but I like how you got the feeling of the end of the season, with the lighting (even if it was coincidental, some of the best works of art are those that you don't create). I like the colors and the lighting - very well done!

the lighting on this pic really catches the atmosphere. the gradient of dark hills to the light on the sign looks great. it is a very eye catching photo.
