Not as large as in 2023 but still notable. I personally did not find it very photogenic in 2023, particularly after word really got out in Feb and the area turned into a mess of muddy footprints. Will take nice clean salt formations any time.
Does anyone.knownhow long it took the polygons to reform in 2023?

I shall visit it again. Very soon. :-)
I was impressed by it back in 2023, though it wasn’t always easy to photograph.
The second one is really nice Dan. Love how you used a tele to overcome what I have always struggled with there - my preference to go wide and how that makes Telescope Peak look puny.
My own efforts were far more prosaic.
My best "wet" image from DV was from the winter of 2019 when the Panamint Playa was flooded
I like the concept of your first one, but the light wasn’t quite cooperating. But I love the second one — lovely light and colors and that slice of triangular reflecting water is very effective and unusual. The light in the third is also wonderful. (I’ve tried that photograph from that vantage a few times, but have not seen such nice light.) That little plant makes the last one work.

Ah, that little plant... I remember having to wade knee deep in the water on a 30F-ish morning to get it in the image for precisely the reason you point out - without it the FG was boring.
