Very interesting image, it almost looks like 3D. I reminds me if something I would see in my viewmaster when I was a kid. Gread color and comp. Very imaginative.

Beautiful capture! I saw the thumbnail, and had to take a closer look...
I love the texture of the sky, and those oranges in the rock and the purple and blue in the sky go really well together!

Great colour, great light, and the clouds are hypnotizing; I feel like the're moving live every time I look at them. Great shot.

Bisti Badlands? Is this a composite? Nothing wrong with that, just pointing it out to others that may agree. Very crisp image. I notice a tad bit of haloing around the hoodoo fin on the lower right. Nothing that stands out too much in a small image like this one but may be an issue printed big.

Thanks, Joe & Kane.

Kane: It is not a composite. Thanks for pointing out the small halo. Might be from post processing. I'll go back to look at it.

Wow...I love the crispy sharpness and the color is beautiful. I am dizzy after looking at it for a minute or two. :wink:

Excellent color combination as well as contrast of detals in sand vs clouds. Like the brief description too :smile:
