That is very cool. I think it might be worth considering cropping the bottom to eliminate the rocks and the lateral part of the platform. That might make it more enigmatic, as it would be less obvious that we're looking at a sculpture. I would also think about eliminating the figure with the pick axe on the right (Smokey the Bear?), though I'm less sure about that. He's kind of cool too so it's a shame to lose him, but again, the scene might be more intriguing if it were simplified. Dunno.

Yes, a lot of possibilities. I have 4 versions of this picture, different crops, and B&W too. I choose this one... but others will be cool too. I'll post different versions.

Very nice! And thanks for the reminder that it's been too long since I visited Rhyolite - guess I need to plan some travel.

Have a good trip to Rhyolite and Death Valley
Don't forget to eat at Mel's, at Beatty
