The Winner, in the Racetrack

[Vieri Bottazzini]

I called this The Winner, one of the famous sailing stones on The Racetrack in Death Valley National Park.



Best,

Vieri

Excellent image.

Is that too much clarity in the background mountains? Or a bad bokeh? Flash/reflector for the foreground? Inquiring minds want to know

Now THAT is a different take on things from a place shot too often as a reproduction of other peoples' views.

Nice!

Agree! Vieri has managed to do something different, interesting and compelling with this classic scene. I have not taken any of his courses but I would guess that he is probably a great teacher.

Thank you very much Paulo, I am glad you enjoyed it!

Hello Slobodan, now that even the Sailing Stones' mystery has been uncovered, I'd rather leave at least the mystery of this shot unknown...

Thank you very much, it is not easy to give a different look to places so well known, I am glad you enjoyed it

Thank you very much Sean, I really appreciate it, glad you enjoyed it! I love teaching, I found it extremely important and I have been teaching for almost 25 years now, so your comment makes me very happy indeed Just got back yesterday from a Workshop in Comacchio, Italy, and all participants seemed to be very happy about our work together
