The fence is really good, the gravestones maybe less so. I find myself wanting to crop quite heavily on the RHS to almost the break in the fence. This would make it almost square, but I think it would also draw the eye to the gravestones. Just a thought!

Sure that's not a red filter..?

It's an interesting concept, for sure. I believe this one catches my eye most, FWIW.

Colin, I'm pretty sure it was an orange filter. Great thing about high altitude, one can saturate the skies easy. This location is down in the valley, only 5000' in elevation. The top of the mountain in the background is 10,500'.

Peter, are you seeing the whole photo? The photo is square, uncropped from the Rolleiflex. To me, the composition gives a feeling of loneliness to the scene, eventhough I'm standing about 200 yards from I-25 almost in the middle of Albuquerque.

I second what r-brian says here. Amazing skies in the southwest.

b.t.w., r-brian... I love this image. Great title too. And I don't normally go for picture titles.
