While walking around in the Red Canyon area of Dixie National Forest in Utah I noticed this scene.

Lovely comp with many different colors, shapes and textures in sharp detail. As a picture, it is a feast for the eyes. However it looks a bit artificial in that no pine needles are present on the surface of the rocks and wood.

Compositionally, I really like this image. The dead branch, rocks and cone all work well together.

It does strike me as slightly overexposed. Not much, but I'm anticipating a bit more detail in the dead wood.

You're in Beavercreek? We'll have to meet up one of these days. I'm right by the Meijer's.

I like the mix of different "objects" in this and the detail is terrific. I agree that it does seem just a little overexposed
