Comments welcome.

A great combination of the dramatic sky with the delicate foreground. Very beautiful.

Gorgeous sky and well-exposed foreground. Great shot!

Fantastic! Love the pattern and texture of the foreground opposing the dramatic sky.

Great composition, and good luck to capture such interesting lighting and clouds. (And good technique, obviously, to be able to produce an image with all of these elements esthetically and technically in balance.)

My favorite place, Death Valley, expertly rendered! Fantastic sky. Was this taken on the north end of the West Side Road by chance? My only nitpick is the curvature of the horizon (which I'm sure could be "cured" with PS) but then again maybe it's not an issue for you. Still I'm throwing a 7/7 at it.

Thanks everybody for your nice comments. Dave this was shot walking

out from BadWater. I'm aware of the slight curvature to the horizon,

I need to fix that, thanks for mentioning it.

just great! love the composition, regards

Very nice. Tell me, if I may ask, was this taken at sunset on 2/18? I was at Zabriski Point, and it sure looks like the same dynamic sky. Wish I could have been two places at the same time.

Yes it was Scott. It was good to get some awesome sky for a change.

I know the feeling about being in more than one place at a time.

It's hard to make an original looking image of salt flats, but you had an amazing sky to work with here and you've captured it very nicely. Your framing of the lights and darks in the sky is perfect.
