Here is a photo of a rare desert feature. This wing has ~10ft overhang. My friends and I have spent a lot of time exploring the desert of northwestern New Mexico, and found some amazing places, many of which have no name. We named this area Black Horse Mesa, which rivals Bisti in terms of beauty.

I am ready to print this one, so any constructive criticism will be helpful. I hope you like it.

Wow that's awesome! I love the red pebbles on the ground too.

You should topple it over then you'd have the only photos! Brilliant. (kidding of course) :razz: :rolleyes:

Very nicely composed, and I love the perspective gained from using the wide angle lens.
Nice, even blue sky and excellent exposure, too.

Very nice, Momo! Print it big!

Momo - that is a sweet shot and a really cool rock formation. This will make a great print.

Looks like you took that shot just in the nick of time!
That overhang can't last much longer - especially with guys like Jack around. :biggrin:

This is simply wonderful, great comp and subject. Never saw a photo of this before! Truly unique, it obviously requires some hiking to get to or else it already would have been in every nature style calendar and magazine. Great find! Feel free to email me the location :biggrin:

Nice image. I really like the colors and the wide angle.

Truly incredible, both the feature and the capture. I studied this for awhile and don't have any suggestions.
