Afternoon light finds its way through a break in the storm clouds to illuminate Arizona's Agathla Peak, known to locals as El Capitan.

Nice colors and comp. The foreground trees really help bring scale to the mountain. I especially like the dappled light on the mountains against the cloudy sky.

Great mood, Alex. The dramatic sky works really well here. By the way, have you tried this in B&W?

Thanks, guys. Mat, I've tried B&W, but I didn't think it worked as well - the blue/yellow complementary color palette helps separate the sky and subject here, but it's much tougher to have it stand out in B&W.
