Those colors and leading lines are wonderful Justin, and those mammatus clouds are icing on the cake!

Great depth of field Justin and the sky looks perfect. Very impressive scene and awesome processing. Thanks for your last bit of commentary on my last post - very much appreciated. I hope all is well. I'll give you a call soon,

An excellent composition, Justin. Love the use of line and color. The cloud formations add a nice contrast to the rock in many interesting ways.

Great clouds, rock not too bad either. Were you able to capture this in a single exposure, or did you need to blend? The sky / rock transition looks so good I thought it might be a single exposure.

Effective comp, great color, and a real mood inducer. The clouds work perfectly with the rock.

Nice lines, comp., color, dof, sharpness, and contrast between the static rock and cloud movement!

Thanks everyone!

Harry - A single exposure, the darkened sky helped keep it within range of the camera.

Justin,

Absolutely love the sky here and think you did a great job with this landscape composition. Lovely soft and natural color in the sandstone. Great lead in lines giving this scene excellent depth. Great work.

Incredible image, Justin. I really like the amazing variety of warm tones in the rock as well as the great patterns. Clouds are pretty awesome as well.

Great job on the clouds and the rest of the image flows nicely back to them. A beauty.
