Somewhere over N. Arizona

Please give me your opinions. Thanks!

Beautiful shot! I love the blending of the colors in the sky.

Beautiful sky and silhouette! Lovely colors! Well done. Take care, Leslie

Christal... Whoa.... this one stopped the scrolling. Soft, melted sky punctuated by all the sharp spires... very good.... Mike

 

 

Nice shot . Beautiful colours.

Regards

Very nice capture!

Thanks for viewing and/or rating this! We hadn't seen any great sunsets on our trip, but I was ever hopeful for one. We were in wide open spaces in N. Arizona when I saw these rock formations. So my husband and I waited for over an hour at this location in the HOPES that Mother Nature would cooperate.....and she did! Thanks again!

Great capture Christal. The colors and contrast really make this appealing. This would be fun to warm up a bit and maybe bump the reds a notch. Not a criticism, cause I like it the way it is, just an observation. Arizona is one photographic state isn't it! Best wishes-Jim

Christal,

Wow...you have a magicial way with color. This is a real beauty. Great capture. Regards, Patsy

I thank you both kindly! Jim, it was the most amazing sky that night, and I was afraid if I did too much more to it, it wouldn't be believable. :-) But I'll play with your idea.....thanks! And yes, we loved Arizona....so much variety there. We'll soon be heading off to Oregon, and I'm finding the variety there also amazing. I can't wait to shoot pictures on the coast.

I like this better than the black and white one Cristal.

Silk ribbons of blue, magenta and gold, against the black rock formations are dramatic and breathtaking. Sometimes western sunsets seem too beautiful to be true. I am glad you captured this one in all it's glory.

You're certainly right about the western sunsets. I suppose they're really no more beautiful than our midwestern sunsets. But because of the broad expanses and vistas, you're able to see them! I loved seeing the western skies as we drove across N. Dakota and Montana this summer. Here at home I have to literally take a trek to find a place with unobstructed views of the sunset. Thanks for your visit and comment!
