The amount of compression that was applied to these photo is downright criminal.

This is the kind of discovery that I love to see on HN. Regardless of who wins the competition, we all win by getting to see all of the entries.

Absolutely gorgeous shots. Made my day.

The area in this photo -- the Caineville Mesa, Factory Butte, "Long Dong Silver" (I'm not aware of a more polite name) -- is some of the strangest land in America. It really is that lunar blue gray. The Temples of the Sun and Moon (enormous natural sandcastles) are also nearby, and are similarly eerie in the evening.

The closest I've ever felt to being in space. Recommend!

I can't look at this without asking myself "how many of these are completely generated"?

Thanks for destroying trust, AI researchers and companies. On top of everything else.
