Wild mustangs graze on the sparse grass and sagebrush near the volcanic monolith known as Shiprock in northwestern New Mexico. Rising 1,583 feet above the high-desert plain, this famous natural landmark was formed during an explosive volcanic eruption over 25 million years ago and is considered sacred to the Navajo people.

I love the way you use the road to bring us into your picture.You hit the lighting just right too. Getting the mustangs to stay was some kind of trick you have to teach me. Wow the sky even cooperated. In my mind you nailed this shot.

This is truly outstanding....love everything about it. The road providing a vanishing point, the mustangs , the clouds, and last but certainly not least Shiprock.

It's moments like this that you truly appreciate when you are a photographer. Your timing couldn't have been better - the Mustangs really add to the whole composition as well as the POV you chose. I imagine it had to be quick in order to capture the Mustangs as the same time!

Gorgeous!!! .....amazing color, light, detail.....and I love how the road leads the viewers eyes in to the photo. I wanted to rank the photo higher.....but it never gave me the chance. I hate when that happens!! ??? A winner in my book!
