Nice find and well timed. The nice light does a great job of bringing out the beautiful color of the rock. Personally, I think the image would be even stronger if the entire image was in focus rather then selectively focused.

This is a great find of a beautifully colored rock formation. Your comp also works very well for this. I really like this photo, Bill. My only wish would be to have complete depth of field without any blurry areas.

Thank you for your comments! Although generally I prefer large DOF in macro-closeup shots, in this case the thing I like about it is the selective DOF--to me it makes it look more 3 dimensional.
