Most of these land close to it: hard midday sun, even values across the striped shirt and the woman's face, the man set back on his rock with the mountains holding their shape behind them. grok-imagine-image went somewhere else entirely, swapping that flat overhead light for a lower, warmer one, which drags the shadows long across the rocks and turns both rifles nearly black. It also pulls in tighter, so the mountain range flattens to a thin band along the top.

Very cool! I love the desert setting. They remind me of Burt and Heather Gummer from the first "Tremors" movie.

JustAsh

Yep, first thing I thought of when I saw these was Tremors! Great results, wonderful popcorn movie.
