Beautiful Light Martin. I would try cloning out the vapor trail in the sky if you can. Other than that I really like this image a lot. Beautiful colors, great sky, good foreground. Nice! :cool:

Classic shot of the Superstitions, very well done. I love the variety of desert flora you've captured here.

Beautiful, Martin. The light and clouds make for an excellent comp. I really like the left shifted rocks and the filler foliage on the right.

Beautiful light and comp, Martin. Great image.
(You might consider cloning out the vapor trail though)

Well done. Lucky to get some clouds to work with. I don't see the vapor trail others mentioned so I don't think its a problem.

Beautiful light on the peaks Martin. I like how you used the bush and the cactus to fill in the very right hand side. Well balanced.

I love the warm light which makes the peaks glow. The FG is also very interesting and well exposed. Had someone not mentioned the vapor trail, I probably wouldn't have given it much thought. Very well done!
