Does the human scale add to the picture? I have other pics without

the human element but like to know the pros n cons. Thank you for

the comments.

interesting and beatiful

I think that people give an idea of the size of the rocks but without it would then have been even more abstract. Depends what you wanna show. Nice colours and light.

It is very nice!

Drew, I don't think you need the people. The image is totally engaging, and the eye flows gladly about. IMHO the people are like spots on a window. Regards, Bernie

People don't work for me in this one. This location has such superb lines and patterns that tell their own stories. Moving to avoid the middleground 'hole' may also be worthwhile, the light entering to brighten up the reds brings out the saturation.

It looks like you take the picture one hour late, when the sun is not reaching the stone. That makes the picture a bit flatter. You need the saturation that is in the patch of light also in the rest of the picture. Imaging then a vibrant red against a pure blue sky, because I think the clouds make the colours in this case even duller and are distracting. I think the people is ok.

Thanks for the input eveyone, it looks like human scale is not needed here.

Nice scale here Drew. An amazing place indeed.
