Well, I'm obviously not the only one who loves this image, Patti. It's my favorite of your June entries and I can only echo what everyone else has said about its color, human interest and story telling impact. Great job and I'd love to see it go on.
Others I liked are Cactus Window for its tones, composition and perfect combination of sharp and soft focus; Into the Wind for its selective crop and excellent perspective; and Tangled up in Green for its blocks of shapes and contrasting textures. Good luck in the June contest. #8731782
