As I compare this with Red Rock #3, I like the way you removed the vignette from the ground. That looks great!
But the vignette in the skies remain unchanged and I find it still to be a bit too obvious and overbearing. You've got one heckuva good image here and hope to see #4 in the future. :wink:

Red rocks look great but something about photo looks a little to manmade maybe too perfect.

Bunn,

I think you're progressively improving this image. I hesitate to be too critical on the sky vignetting because I was there to witness the scene. Just from the looks of the clouds and assuming the sun is buried nearly directly behind the rock formation, I think it's reasonable to think the light may have this effect - kind of a radiating effect behind the clouds; bright by the sun, but fading as you move away towards the edges. Just my thoughts. It's a great scene and image and I think you're real close.

Lon, this is pretty much a strait shot and you are right about the scene and circumstance :-) I suppose I will do a #4 even though I feel I am littering the site with one image.

I just looked at 3 and see this is an improvement but way too vignetted still to my eye.
