One More Old Thing
I discovered this abandoned school bus turned RV decaying in the desert outside Thompson Springs, Utah. I made a whole bunch of images but this is the one I like best. Just something about the sun shining through a broken window and the way the bus leans to the right that tells a small story.

1Ds MKII, 17-40mm lens

I just finished watching, "Intothe Wild" and this image encapsulates it!

Interesting find. I like the sunstar too. I think I'd like just a little more contrast, a few more tones in the low zones, to really make this pop.
Fun theme though!

Love the sunstar, and the image composition in general - this new series of yours is great! The vignette effect on the upper right is a bit strong for me. I agree with Kalin that a bit more on the low end might be nice.

I was totally thinking "Into the Wild" when I saw this too, I like it as part of the series for sure.

I really like the BW in this image.

I was thinking more along the lines of a Mad Max outtake. I agree with the others, balance the two sides contrast/levs-wise and itll be cool.
