Maxim of Ohio thought on 10/30/2005 that this photo was good and added the following:
"I don't agree with Lauren. This underexposure with the rich reds gives the perfect impression of the sunset time, compatible also with the long low shadows. Looks like the end of a long hiking day. Very good indeed. I wouldn't change anything." 5514

Lisa Jensen thought on 8/8/2005 that this photo was very cool and added the following:
"I like both the color and the depth of field in this photo. I can almost smell the sweet scent of dacying leaves on the forest floor." 3885

Jake Richens of Salt Lake thought on 6/23/2005 that this photo was superb and added the following:

Wayne of Orem thought on 6/14/2005 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"Bruce, you did it! You have discovered a new population of Papilio indra minori. This is a very fresh specimen so it looks like the flight has just begun where you are. I guess this is the specimen you saw? There must be either Lomatium junceum, L. parryi or Cymopterus terebinthinus in the area for this fresh specimen to be there. Anxious to hear from you again. Keep up the great work! Wayne" 3319

Bruce Wilson of Provo, Utah thought on 1/9/2005 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"It would sure be a good test of color. Note that this version has the typical blue/red intersection "mosquito noise" typical of .jpg's. Use it if you like, but I can get you a proper .bmp if you send me you email address (send it to [email protected], click on my name). If you use it, please put "(c)Bruce Wilson" on it in clear text. Bruce, KD7VEM " 6257

"Very impressive image. Great feeling of movement with low shutter speed." 4236

Dorde Woodruff of SLC thought on 5/30/2004 that this photo was good and added the following:
"This also appears to be S. parviflorus, but quite a young one. But the petals are narrow than in #8164. It is not S. whipplei, which has yellow flowers and grows in the Navajo reservation area in northern Arizona. The name S. whipplei got widely entrenched in the literature because S. parviflorus wasn't discovered and named until the '30s. " 7729

Dorde Woodruff of SLC thought on 5/30/2004 that this photo was good and added the following:
"This plant is commonly misidentified, even in floras. It isn't S. whipplei but rather S. parviflorus, first named in the 30s by Clover and Jotter on a river trip, in the Grand Canyon. S. whipplei grows on the Navajo reservation and thereabouts in Northern Arizona, is globular unless very old, smaller, and has yellow flowers. " 4425

Lauren Anderson of Ogden, UT thought on 5/22/2003 that this photo was 'interesting' and added the following:
"It's a fascinating picture; great representation of the scale and steepness of the trail, makes me want to go there. The picture seems a little underexposed and saturated with reds and oranges. It would be nice to see it lightened a little in PhotoShop." 5514

Eric Carlson of Crooks thought on 7/28/2002 that this photo was very cool and added the following:
"Its always good to see other people interested in the D&I. Bruce - please get with me about a railroad meet we're going to be having in Sioux Falls this November. - See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SoDakRailFans for details. Thanks!" 3135

Theo Jacobs of The Netherlands (highest hill: 340 meter) thought on 3/14/2002 that this photo was superb and added the following:
"Hello Bruce, Following a link from the PhotoSig site I came on your site and enjoyed it very much. This, however, is a real masterpiece! One of the best photo's I've seen in months, especially the 'big' version. One small point though: the big version is lacking a bit in sharpness, I found that sharpening it makes it even more impressive, uncovering much more detail. Do you mind if I use it as my desktop? (Well, as a matter of fact I've already tried it and it looks great on my Iiyama 21 inch)" 6019

An anonymous visitor thought on 1/26/2002 that this photo was okay and added the following:
"The reflections are the most interesting part of the shot, I think." 2916

Rebecca of SDSU at the moment thought on 4/27/2001 that this photo was 'interesting' and added the following:
"I like it, but I don't like the quotation marks around 'interesting.' I like the pic b/c it reminds me of home, with all the different colors of dirt and the way it's piled up in mountains with the sky behind it. Looks like home, I miss that..." 3902

Bruce Wilson of Brookings SD thought on 4/6/2001 that this photo was good and added the following:
"Shot last Fall, I still think this is a Spring picture. Maybe it's the woman's dress." 3019

Bruce Wilson of Brookings SD thought on 4/5/2001 that this photo was good and added the following:
"A nice coincidence. The two balloons were being inflated next to each other, and the wind caught them just right to make it look like Smokey was wispering something into the ear of Sarge. Luck was responsible for this shot, not skill, I'm afraid." 3642

Bruce Wilson of Brookings SD thought on 4/5/2001 that this photo was superb and added the following:
"Shot at the Estelline SD Quarry north of town. It's one of my only surreal pictures. I call it "Still-life with Front-end Loader". I did not fix a slight blue tint the photo got when I scanned it." 3902
