Donald 187 thought on 5/30/2006 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"Personally I think it is Sclerocactus cloveriae which until recently was a part of parviflorus and whipplei. Its description can be found in journals written by Heil. Not completely opening flowers similar to whipplei but magenta. Spine very similar to parviflorus but more corky. I think its Sclerocactus cloveriae." 8221

Your Uncle George of Miami thought on 12/27/2004 that this photo was superb and added the following:
"You did not have stupendous or I would have chosen it. I can hardly take it all in. Subject, composition and detail are 1st rate." 4469

Dorde Woodruff of SLC thought on 5/30/2004 that this photo was good and added the following:
"A pretty, neat flower on Sclerocactus parviflorus, not S. whipplei, which is a smaller plant, doesn't grow here, and rarely becomes cylindrical. The common name for S. parviflorus is a translation of the Latin, "small-flowered fishhook cactus", or more properly, "small-flowered little barrel cactus", a misnomer, since this species has small flowers only in comparison to the giant of the genus, S. polyancistrus of California. " 4543

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. " 4853

Bruce Wilson of Provo, Utah thought on 2/23/2004 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"This is shot through a Cokin blue/yellow polarizer. I was just holding it in front of the lens as best I could, but wasn't aligned very well. In the end I liked the effect, so left it full-frame. Sort of an unintentional vignette, much like the very early field cameras that used lenses with small image circles. I've tried printing similar shots, but always come back to this one." 6745

Bruce Wilson of Provo, Utah thought on 2/23/2004 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"I shot this about 10 minutes before sunrise from the balcony at Bryce Point. The haze is from a large fire burning about 20 miles to the north, which settled into the valleys during the still night." 7725

"I liked it. Really good color balance." 6169

Cemal Ekin of Rhode Island thought on 11/24/2002 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"I saw Byrce Canyon for the first time last December. It took my breath away. Then, again in May and I was blown away one more time. Although I came close to seeing the sentinel, I could not go down far enough to see it. Thank you for sharing this extremely good photograph with us all. This is probably better than what I would ahve seen on that cloudy day. I may take another trip there since my doughter and son-in-law are in SLC. You live in a wonderful country there. Regards, Cemal" 6700

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!" 3375

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)" 6350

Bruce Wilson of Provo, Utah thought on 3/14/2002 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"Thanks, Theo. It's okay to use as your own desktop. I guess those trees really are out of focus, and I took another look at the big version, looks like th ebarn is in sharp focus, but the Teton mountains in the background were out of focus a bit." 6350

"This is a really cool shot. It's nostalgic, but in a lonely way." 5812

An anonymous visitor thought on 11/5/2001 that this photo was superb and added the following:
"This really reminds me of old farms near where I grew up." 4620

Bruce Wilson thought on 7/14/2001 that this photo was good and added the following:
"Shots like this is why I always carry a 24mm wide-angle lens. You may have noticed that most shots in magazines like National Geographic are shot with wide-angle lenses. These lenses give a very nice sense of both subject and surroundings. Just remember to keep these rectilinear lenses pointing exactly horizontally to prevent convergence." 3210

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..." 4174

Bruce Wilson thought on 4/19/2001 that this photo was 'interesting' and added the following:
"It is a macro shot (using a 25mm extension tube), and using the angle finder. Angle finders are essential for getting shots that most people don't see, because you can get your camera in odd locations (on the gorund looking up) and using the finder still see what you're shooting. Were I to do this again I's stop down a little more and keep everything in focus. Most macro photography has a depth of field problem. I think it's usually done to keep the background fuzzy. It's much better to stop down then remove the background with black velvet . With an angle finder you get sky in the background, and fuzzy sky is still sky. This shot was done on a tripod (set very low), but I had to keep the shutter speed high because the wind was blowing and moving the subject." 3513

Bruce Wilson thought on 4/11/2001 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"This tree, at Palisades State Park north of Sious Falls SD, has troubled me for years. I've shot it dozens of times, in varying lights, from all kinds of angles, but I've never gotten it right. This is one of the better color shots. The B&W shots are better, but still not there." 3554

Crystal of SDSU thought on 4/9/2001 that this photo was superb and added the following:
"I really like your whole page of flowers. They are really beautiful!" 3619

Bruce Wilson thought on 4/7/2001 that this photo was 'interesting' and added the following:
"I've always liked this shot, even thought there is a focus problem, and a slight imbalance in the composition. The light that afternoon was perfect, though. Shot outside the Madison SD Prarie Village antique tractor pull and all-around good time, this was the preparation for the ploughing contest. The train in the mid-gound is an old Arco switcher (about 1000 HP) that pulled four cards full of passengers around the site. The silos in the background are a nice reminder we are in the prarie. The shot could be fixed had I waited another moment for the engine to move about eight more feet, creating a line from the silos, thrjought the cab of the engine, to the head of the farmer. And closing down the shutter would have fixed the focus problem. Maybe next time." 3351

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." 3305

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." 3914

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." 4174
