| I love Death Valley. I've been to that spot many times. You've done a nice job capturing the lonliness of the place, and I like the variety of colors you've captured. The biggest problem with the image is the sky. It's kinda blown out and featureless. On a cloudy day (I assume) like this, you might consider composing the shot in a way that leaves the sky out, because the rest of what you have is very nice. |

| The car gives a nice sense of the sheer scale of the place. |

| It looks like the dark ground and hills have tricked the camera into overexposing the sky which is a real shame as it has real potential. A good technique to avoid this is to take a spot meter reading on a brighter part of the image (ie the sky) and then lock these settings for use in the actual shot. Most DSLR's as far as i know have the capability to lock the exposure and shutter readings so perhaps read up on the manual?? |

| I think cloning out the map would really improve the impact of this photo because it would make the car the only truly unnatural thing in the whole place and would create greater contrast |
