What a great excuse to finally go see the salt flats - I'm going again! They are cool!

Rode for 2 hours - shot for 10 minutes - rode back. Wind howling at 50 mph as I shot and rode back - making this the perfect adventure. Great fun.

Shot with my SB800 handheld using the remote shutter release - camera is sitting on the salt flats with the lens resting on the sippy cup lid (brought the peas in a sippy cup with a lid on it).

wow very creative I just read how you did the shot

Very awesome shot I would have scored high from me....

This should have been in the top ten, I cant believe it scored so low

80th place for this marvel? Really, it's a travesty. Should have been in the top ten.

This image is so surreal. I love it. The sunrays from behind the mountain create such a nice effect. The foreground is very unusual and interesting. Great humor with the "wandering" peas. That second one looks like the salt is getting to him...starting to wrinkle. Nice lighting and great composition. Hope it does well!

Salted peas. Not bad at all. And your set-up is great.

Nicely done, I have a feeling that this is another photo in the background shot. But you know I don't care, the idea is good and clever.
