Cathedral Rock from Red Rock State Park

Crits/Comments welcomed. Thanks.

Michael, so far the best shot I've seen from you. Love the hues in this with the mauves, viloets, and maroons. Excellent composition too.

Except those human figures it is almost perfect

The photographers were included intentionally in order to show scale. IMO, the compostion would not have been as strong without them. I actually had to wait for about 1/2 hour for them to get into the right spot.

I really like this one, too. But, without the little structure in the foreground, it's *just another* shot of cathedral rock (although, I need to be careful how I say that, because even if I HAD ever been to Arizona with my camera, I doubt that I could take a picture like this!) :-D I have the same questions as I did on the other image.

Thanks for your comments. After browsing through your work, I doubt you would have taken a picture like this also had you gone to Arizona. Yours would have been far superior. Thanks for taking the time to look.

nice rocks but these colors are off. Was this your intent?

I've found that Velvia 50 often has a magenta color cast. I didn't mind it and thought it worked for the picture, so I didn't correct it. Thanks for your comment. Attached is a color corrected version (just a quick 30 second PS fix, if I spent more time I probably could have done a better job.) Let me know if you like that one better.
