Racetrack Death Valley NP

"LARGER" = SHARPER. Comments and critiques are welcome and

appreciated.

I like that you were able to isolate this one aspect of The RaceTrack (ie; no mountains or sky or clouds or sunset or whatever in the background). Great long shadows, and perfect detail in the textured ground. Just curious though... is that dark black in the back photoshop? Doesn't seem like it could be natural shadow, but could be wrong. In any case, great shot.

oops. Just looked at your black and white version and saw the shadow that did this. Excellent choice in making it the background. Very impressive

Thank you Jeff. My primary purpose of posting the B&W photo of the Racetrack is so that viewers could figure out that the black shadow is real. I guess it worked.

I love the use of the black at the top, which makes the photo look like a lunar landscape. 7/7

Very very nice,complimenti Beppe.

fantastica!! ciao Giangiorgio

Very nice. I like the composition and the use of near/far. Well done.

Thank you everyone! I got this place all to myself that day during the magical hour/minutes. There were a few other souls earlier in the day but they all left before 2 PM.

Love it. Great work, Eugene.

Very minimalist. Great photo, congrats!

Wow, this is one of the best ones I've seen of this place..I agree that the black background is perfect for this! Awesome! How do you get photos without footprints? Are there a lot of these walking rocks, and few people there, or do you have to look hard to find a place with no footprints?

Kim, there aren't that many footprints at all. At least I didn't see that many. I was kind of surprised by that. Guess that people do observe the rule that says don't walk on the lake if wet. I had to look really hard to find the rocks and clean tracks that I liked.

Jana, I liked your desert scape very much!

 

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

The lines and shadows are tremendous, heading there soon and you inspire, thanks,
