Road to Nowhere...
A few years back, I was in Vegas with my family and with the exception of my oldest son, the rest of the family was pooped-out and taking a long nap. So, since he and I were sitting there, looking at each other, we decided to go look for a ghost town. We found one and surprisingly, there was a man living there and he ran a general store. A very likable guy who told us that the movie "2000 miles from Graceland" was partly filmed there. He also took us for a tour of his gold mine, which was fascinating. On the way back to Vegas, this was a scene that I saw while driving. So, I pulled over (with my son rolling his eyes...) and shot this. It is perhaps one of the very few instances that I feel the composition was perfect. Very rare, even after shooting professionally for 30 years. I love this shot though and think about him and I making this little side trip whenever I see it. Thank God we didn't break down here! :-)

Outstanding Image. Perfect in every respect. Do you remember the name of the ghost town and general stores name?
Gorgeous. It would look great on metal.
Thank you each for your comments! I'd never thought about this as a metal print, but think it is a great suggestion and will see if I can find someone in Shanghai who does this.

Sometimes all a shot has going for it is the sky color. Not so here. Your composition IS perfect and you took an outstanding scene and made it better.
This is an excellent image and should be submitted for publication. You should have no problem selling this multiple time. I think this would look great done in acrylic.
That is a gorgeous capture. I love this one.
