Ocotillo and Superstition Moutains

Please rate/critique the photograph, not the subject.

Innovate use of shadow to isolate a subject in a textured environment. The usual scheme is to throw the background out of focus as bokeh, but you found an original way to present both foreground and background without conflict. This works very well for this handsome shot!

very nice. Would love to have a fine art print of this image. On my screen however, the rocky outcropping (mountainside) looks a bit washed out - over contrasty. No biggie - easily could be difference in my monitor settings and yours. loveley image - very well done!
