Hi Bob,

One wonders how the heck the tree bases got there???? You didn't carry them in your backpack did you? Only jesting. teh nearest root has a nice weird blue glow to the shadow side. No sensor dust too:-)

Cool

Like a place from an other planet, your photo Bob makes me shudder at the mere thought that if we will be not very carefully, in to the near future many places on the earth will be like that.
Very good photo with the strong side light and the warm vivid colors to give the sense from the heat of the concrete area.

Wow, Bob, this is amazing!
I was born and raised in Michigan and I've never heard of this place. When I'm there in August, I'll go find this place!
This photo is great - I love the bright colors and the wonderful depth. Very well done!
Thanks,
Linda

Hi Bob, Great composition, with elements taking us all the way to the "back" of the image, the "uninformative" sky. Lighting is perfect. Tell me, about how far away from the foremost stump was your camera? cheers, Steve

Hi Bob,

fantastic POv on this sandy, windswept, barren country-scape, I would probably spend in such place several hours shooting ;-) ...great POV, very clean image!

Take care, Ivana

Hi Bob,

An interesting compo with those dead tree trunks.
Yeah, the shadow really adds to the entire composition.
We also have a nature reserve in the Netherlands with comparable tree stumps. Very interesting to walk around in such a dead forest. Nice.

Greetings, Dennis

Bob,
Very well realised shot. I - you - we all - often come across similar scenes but, in our carelesness, fail to pay attention to getting the "line up" - the composition - right and end up with a shot which shows a great location, imperfectly realised.

The once certainly says "attention to detail" - making sure that you were in just the right place to make the most of this scene - which you've achieved admirably.

Regards
Colin

It really looks like a limitless desert, not a lakeside, so the composition & POV are really well chosen, the long shadows add to the loneliness feeling of the picture.
