Salty Paintings

This is Sweeeeet!! One of my recent favs of yours for sure, the sun highlites on the cracks make this real special.

The pattern created by the sun is exquisite. Perfect timing, and a great image.

Very well done, Gabi. Great pattern and lighting conditions.

What beautiful light Gabi, and beautifully done.

Hey Gabi,

Very nice! I love the patterns of the foreground.

This is awesome. I love how the highlights on the fg cracks is almost like a necklace to the image--great detail pointing in to the frame with their curving points.

this is lovely Gabi. Those highlights are spectacular. Kind of makes this looks like im looking down over shimmering water.
Thing i find with digital is that skies like this can tend to look a little dirty and washed out. The corners in the sky look a little dark for my tastes though

Great foreground and very effective from a compositional point of view. The light hitting the ground and the distant mountain are the elements that are putting this one over the top. Beautifully done!

This is really nice Gabi. I love the light and the patterns

Angle of light is perfect here, Gabi. An amazing sight and capture too, well done!

Really cool Gabi. One of the best shots you've posted this year for sure. The light is wonderful. I'm not bothered at all by the dark corners and like the vignetting feel to it.

Perfect timing on the light; the highlights on the salt ridges really sell this shot!

Beautiful image. The textures and patterns are great and the light and color reflected off the cracks echoes the red rocks in the distance. Well done.

What a wonderful luminous quality this has! Texture's great too Gabi. I might correct the barrel distortion on the horizon though.

A superb image and an excellent representation of a very interesting location. I like the way the imagery in the foreground mimics the contour of the distant hills. Great job and thanks for sharing,
Steve

Awesome, Gabi! The highlights on the little ridges are gorgeous. You couldn't have asked for a better foreground.

Very nice, Gabi. The foreground shapes and light on the ridges is really nice.

Impressive fg due to the wide-angle and the light reflecting off from the salt-structure is great. Great depth and distance in this one!

Excellent foreground. The patterns and textures are very nice, light and color are excellent also.

Wow! That light is really something here! What an amazing illumination of the desert playa. Certainly one of your best.

Can see why you like it. Awesome lighting on the salt lines!

Beautiful!

just superb, Gabi! the lines in the fg catching some of the light make this sooo nice!

Magical.

I really like the foreground, really nice. The hills are good too, but I would love to see the same photo with a bit more sky action. Small nit though, great photo.

Wow, your tripod shadow must be barely clinging to that left corner. Amazing light, and you captured the perfect moment. Excellent timing. Definitely one of your best.

Really, really nice image Gabi! The touch of red outlining each one of those textures is just killer.

What spectacular timing! I particularly enjoy the sharp clarity in the mountains despite their small size and apparent distance in the image.

Beautiful light and fascinating foreground. Sweet stuff.

Awesome shot! Love the patterns, and the glowing edges really make this special. Top notch!

Very well done Gabi. The sense of depth is fantastic, not to mention the light.

The highlights seem to be attracting all the attention including mine. This is a fantastic image, Gabi.

Incredible Gabi! The light on the ridges is unbelievable! I have to say this is one of the best images from here that I have seen.

This is really neat! The salt formations almost look like ice. It is quite otherworldly in an awesome way.

That U shaped curve in the FG is fantastic. Timing, timing, timing - you nailed it.

Gabi,

I think we are all happy with the light in this one as well.

That's a well-timed photo, Gabi. I like the way the sun is just starting to touch the ridges. This looks like snow to me.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments.

did you ever time this perfectly, that hint of light on the ridges is awesome, the comp is great, just a great capture!

I'm likin' this one a lot. I love the way the dominant salt ridges make a nice sunlit ring around the fg to pull the eye ever so slightly in a circular fashion of into the distant mountains. Beautiful work, start to finish!

This is awesome. Love the way the light is hitting this scene, and the hazy skies help, in my opinion.

A fine and surreal shot Gabi. We have some great salt lakes in Australia too, except with a dead flat horizon. I spent some time at one of them this year and can't wait to go back. This particular pattern is the same pattern on many salt lakes, it's kind of universal. The distant glowing mountains provides an almost mirage-like effect. Love it.

Loved those patterns & texture on the salt bed. Lovely light. The glow off the edges look so beautiful.
A very very beautiful image Gabi.

Wow Gabi I love the glowing salt cracks!

Congrats on the editor's choice, Gabi! This is very well deserved - stunning light and very strong composition!

Gabi, congratulations on the EP selection for this very unique scene. Way to go.

Awesome shot Gabi, love the light on the salt flat crests. Congratulations on the EP!

Thank you very much!

Really nice perspective and capture of the unique light. Congrats.

Beautiful. The light hitting the salt creates a wonderful texture, and the blue tones almost makes it seem like water.

I corrected how I spelled your name in my original comment. Sorry about that. Congrats on the 2008 EPA. This is a very unique image.

Wonderful details and lighting, Gabi...congratulations!

Gorgeous photo, love the colors and the lighting.

I know this post is late, but I just wanted to say WOW. This image is just fantastic! 10/10 in my book.
