Hi Rick. I moved this photo to landscape rather than avian. If that was not the intended gallery, let me know.

Well that's a first, a move from avian to landscape! I'm not overly pleased with the harsh lighting but I like the balanced composition and subjects.

Hmmm, I don't know. I definitely like the composition, but I agree with KK about the harsh light. Also, the sky looks overly dark to me.

Thanks for comments on this. Do not know how I choose Avain but landscape it is. The sky is dark for two resons. It was a bluebird morning and use of a CPL.

I personally choose to make it harsh to mirror the harsh elements.

Thanks for looking and commenting.

The comp is well balanced in my opinion. The light is not really interesting but still I love it somehow. I agree about the sky: it looks a bit dark

Your CPL did a good job of taming the light Rick.
The simple balanced comp works for me, your shot shows the rugged/arid landscape nicely
