Very graphic, Robert. The composition is interesting. The sky is a bit over saturated for my taste and I'd like to see more detail in the wagon's shadow. Given that this is Velvia, and it was a bright and sunny day, this held up pretty nicely.

Nice composition and good job on maintaining DOF. I would agree with Preston about the sky, I find it a bit too saturated.

Bodie sure is a fun place!

Interesting image, Robert. the blue of the sky is certainly electric. The fence on the left and the curved path created by the foreground vehicle both lead the eye to the old structures. But then my eye is stuck on the old buildings and I have no way to get back and meander around the image to take in the details.

Regards,

Carol
