Awesome and very unique.....photography is truly of the moment,in the now.I'm sooo jealous of you-in a good way- not because you won but because I was not there at that moment myself.

Hello Hayden. As a former Fort resident and grad. I really appreciate the photo you have entered. It is stunning. Get in touch. We love photography here in Scottsdale AZ. Are you sure it is not Horsetooth in the summer.

Definitely it has my vote what a beautiful picture it takes your breath away I could stare it, for the rest of my life, and never get tired.thank you.

This is the best. I think your picture is very beautiful.

In a word super.

One word.. awesome!!

This is a beautiful picture. I would love to paint this picture in oils and see it everyday. This picture has my vote for best.

Thank you all very much for the wonderful comments, I love being able to share my experiences through my photos and to get so much positive feedback is a real privilege. It is almost impossible to accurately describe in words the surreal beauty of the Bolivian salt flat. It is one of the few sights that has literally left me speechless, the sheer magnitude and breathtaking beauty bombard the senses as your mind struggles to take it all in and comprehend what it is seeing. I could only hope to capture a small taste of it in my photo so that others could share in my experience. At one of the many stops on our 4x4 tour across the Salt Flats I managed to escape from the horde of tourists and capture this photo. I have no idea who this woman is or where she came from. She seemingly appeared from nowhere only allowing me the opportunity for just one shot; I lined it up and took the perfect photo of her just before she disappeared back into the crowd.

beautiful picture but couldn't get any of the others

My vote was between this and one other. Finally I thought this is the one photo that I could look at and enjoy everyday of my life. Wonderful photograph. Thank you.

This is the best but I couldn't find it with the rest to vote for it. Please submit my vote. Thank you.

It is the peacefulness, the serenity of solitude. The walker seems aware of an infinite horizon, ever eluding him should he try to near it. Awesome reflections, 'as above, so below'.

I think your picture is very beautiful and serne

Very surreal.. I really like this photo, it must look amazing blown up on a wall. Where can I get a copy of this photo?

Wow, what an amazing shot. I have heard that the Bolivian salt flats were beautiful, but this photo is incredible. It is simple and uncomplicated, yet breathtakingly beautiful. Congratulations.

The beauty and grandeur of nature overwhelms the presence of man. Yet, man as God's steward for HIs creation fulfills the purpose on why the Divine created the universe. For God created man in HIs own image and likeness. And in this scene, the trancendence God has walked through the created universe through His immanence in man. One should look at the universe and look inside oneself, find beauty in our inner being, where the presence of the divine can be found. A fulfilled life is in the heart of a natural man and it is in the created universe and his fellow human where he can found peace, fulfillment and tranquility. This is only true for them who loved and only when LOVE reigns in their heart and occupies their whole person. Impossible??? you may say but... Luke 1:37, "With God nothing is impossible."

Not a suprising title. The clouds give an etherial quality with a touch of magic. The composition is simple and to the point. The monochromatic backround and texture highlight the person. The person's isolation makes for a peaceful or tranquil feeling. And a mystery, what is the person's destination and purpose for traveling and being there. It could be as mundane as being on vacation or visiting a relative. But has beauty and charm.

Very artistic!

Beautiful colors, composition
