sal, i like it! it's not your typical floral. this probably explains why i like it ;^) i like that you chose to shoot this with available light. the interplay of color and shadow is fantastic. well done!
take care, tom
ps - thanks for your comment today. one of my favorite things is turning folks onto death valley. it is an amazing place and often magical. too bad you got outvoted. then again, a drive-by is not enough time. you should definitely plan on going for a few days. you will not regret it.
