One of your best photographs to date, bar none! This would be a very marketable image IMHO. I'd not change a thing; this is pretty near perfection to my eye. This has gone straight into "My Favorites." Happy Holidays to You and Yours, Harry! Cheers! Chris

Thanks Chris, I appreciate the feedback. I was only in the area for Thanksgiving,, but had a couple of good opportunities there. I'll be posting another image taken later in the week from this general vview that I think has this beat. The sky was much more dramatic. You can be the judge! Have a great holiday, Harry

Excellent composition, very nice lighting and color (7/7 an). Best regards

Wonderful light and composition. I agree with Ray. This shot tugs me home also, I grew up in the valleys an canyons between the foreground and the snow. What a place, what a picture.

I'm not sure there is much I can add to what Chris said. Very calm, natural and arrestingly beautiful. I love the sweep of clouds top left.

Sure is a beauty Harry. The contrast of colors makes it Pop right off the screen. The two up-sweeping clouds fill the sky with interest, but I really like the thin horizontal clouds in the middle. It is surely one of your best, which makes it one of the best we will see on this platform. 3/3 and 4/4 raters... eat your hearts out; this is a 7/7 in a well composed box!! A present for all of us to revel in during the holidays. Thanks for the gift Harry!

I must agree that this is just stunning and your processing is spot on. Very, very well done Harry.

Fantastic! 7/7... Mike

 

 

Excellent photo, Harry.Nice composition that gives excellent sense of depth.Perfect exposure.

I clicked on a thumbnail-less link to this, and the first phrase out of my mouth was "holy s&$t". That's always a good sign. The orange/blue/orange color sandwich is fantastic here. You caught exactly the right moment, when the color on the clouds gave a beautiful complement to the already-orange of the sandstone formations.

The light and composition in this shot are absolutely fantastic! Great work!

Stunning Image Harry... Just Great Light...
