For those that wondered where this was taken, it was at Zabriskie Point in the Death Valley National Park (California). Here's the challenge entry as well as the outtake. The outtake is actually the original composition--my entry was cropped from this.
The reason for the crop was that the viewers' eyes would be too busy scanning the image in the original composition, IMO. Cropping it down gave more of a focus on the photogs and not on the dry lake bed, the distant mountains, and the sky.
