Kolob Finger Canyon Pano

This is an 8 image pano of the Kolob Finger Canyons in NW Zion National Park. It's taken at sunset from the Kolob Canyon Road. The colors are amazing there at this time of day. The moon is rising over the ridge, but it's difficult to see when reduced to these dimensions.

Canon 5DII 16-35MM @ 35mm F14; 1/60sec; ISO 100

I like the comp and the processing is well done. Just feels a little tight to me at the bottom. Nicely done.

Quite the pano Wick. Personally, I'd crop out the very bottom as the weird pinks and greens on the bottom left draw my eye from the main point in the scene. Very cool looking area though.

Wick,

Terrific panorama! The moon is a nice touch, although it's not stealing the show... and even though the sky is blank, I just love the clean blue look combined with the rich tones of ridges. This should make a wonderful print.
