Yesterday was my birthday, so I left work early and took my family for a 3-hour drive to the Bonneville Salt Flats. We have lived in northern Utah for 6 years now, and have never been over there. It was quite an experience. I never knew there was that much salt. My kids had a blast playing and running around, and I took the opportunity to make an image for this challenge.
With basic editing rules, all I did was remove some dust, apply neat image, tweak the curves, resize and sharpen.

I'm not being deliberately annoying here, but I just don't know what I'm supposed to feel about this photo. It's not emotive for me, so I'm left being quite conscious of your presence in the scene. I don't know what it needs but perhaps the girl should be naked or in tattered clothes, perhaps with a more muted or even cross-processed tonal treatment. The current vibrance belies your title and the colour denotes more of a fashion shoot to me than a poignant, lonely one.
