A very effective image. You’ve managed to capture a sense of vast space and remoteness in a compelling image.

Thanks for the feature in “Australian Travel Photography and Writing”. My very FIRST featured shot!
The bare, flat horizon and the lone patron really emphasise the isolation. Love the lighting too. Nice job.
simple…yet that is Birdsville…uncomplicated, wide and open
