Excellent comp for the flowers and tracks, Rick. I like the position of the flowers and the way you kept the shadows just inside the corner with the tracks proceeding diagonally through the opposite side of the frame. Well done.

Well composed comment on the hardiness and adaptability of desert flora.

Like the shadow cast and color combo here showing a harsh environment. The bird tracks are a fine addition. Well done.

A really fine comp, Rick! Great addition to have the tracks. I like the contrasts in texture and color as well.

What a terrific shot! Looking at the techs-- that's some wildly bright light, and look how well this turned out! A fine intimate desert scene.

Excellent composition. I like the ability of including other elements of the environment. Very good photo for me.
Take care.
