The colorful blooms in the remote and desolate area contrasts the barren ground.

Cool image, Rick. Your larger image looks the same size as the smaller-did you grab the wrong one? If so, I think you can edit your post to change the file. I'd love to see the details in the centers of the flowers.

Looking at your image of the Bisti Badlands in the Landscape gallery sets the context for my exclamation when I saw this beauty! What a gorgeous violet color in the blooms of this otherwise Bisti looking cactus. Would like to see a little more room top and bottom; I like the accompaniment of the plant's shadow on the left.

Rick: Nice find and for me the harsh sun complements the desert flowers. I like your DOF management as well. >=))>

I like the richness of the color. And, the contrast in textures.
