One of my favorite photography elements is a strong vanishing point… I love this shot, it’s got a really great one! I just love how the eye travels down the highway coming to rest on the two massive rock formations in the far background. What a great shot, Derrick!

Really nice shot. Puts the viewer right in the picture. Really like the vanishing point of the road. I can almost hear the “crunch” of the road gravel beneath my feet. Great shot : )
