Hi Dean,
Super collection of images, as you say they work well together telling a story and presenting it in the form of a postcard is a great idea, interesting note too.

The place certainly is more spectacular when you see it . The crater is so huge . It is difficult to catch its scale , unless you are taking your shot from an airplane.

Nevertheless, the montage is pretty good. The top right photo with the little constructions in the center of the crater, are giving a hgood idea of the immensity of the site.

Crystal clear images. Perhaps I might have kept the four images in colors.

Cheers!
Robert

Hello Dean,
Beautiful series of images from Meteor Crater.
Wonderful, like a grat postcard, composition you've made out of the four different shots.
If I come to Arizona one day and see this wonderful postcard in a shop, I will buy it directly and send it to my friends in the Netherlands.
Excellent work.
Kindest regards and have a nice weekend,
Harry

Hi Dean.
They are actually nice shots on their own, and yes they do look more interesting presented this way. Very well arranged. Well done.
Regards, Steve.

Dean,
Your INFORMATION really very detail...Great for postcard with black background and good arrangement.

Regards, Phepsw

Wow, I really love this.
Fantastic clarity, lighting, and details. Well done.
TFS,

Nice collage, effective; the photos, also look very good...

Hi Dean,

I'm intrigued by the house on the top left picture - or the remains of it. This crater has been formed just thousands of years ago, long before that house was ever there. But just imagine that it would have been there when the meteorite hit. Hmmm, getting a men-in-black feeling now ;-).
The first letters in white doesn't really do it for me. Takes away too much attention from the pictures. But hey, I'm a critic ;-).

Greetings!
Dennis

Other than watching your centered horizons, Dean, it's a nice collection. Hope you enjoyed the trip! TFS.
