Painted Desert

Comments appreciated.

The slope to the right is too dark.

You have nice colors and scene here. What I would have done differently was move closer to the foreground bush to make it a more prominent foreground subject, perhaps moving it a bit more to the right also. This way, you'd have a better foreground and less of the dark right bottom.

Thank you both for your comments. Please view in larger--some of these problems seem to go away then.

I think the composition is great because it distorts the scale. Is that a deep valley to the left a half-mile down or is it a small ditch next to an embankment on a road. The scale is very interesting. I think if you took this into PS and did a Levels Adjustment layer or a Shadow/Highlight Adjustment layer, you could bring just a little more detail out in the slope. It looks very dark on my monitor and I'm running a calibrated Macitosh G4. Nice work

Thanks for your help, Dave. Here is a reworked version with a brighter hillside. GB
