I really like this Alex. It shows how barren and desolate this landscape is. The left side may feel pretty empty, but I think that plays into my description anyways. The light on the grass is very nice and I like how the sweep of that little ridge leads to the nicely light formations and dark dramatic sky.

Glorious light and wonderful comp Alex. Love the warm light on the foreground grasses to the mountain peaks.

This is excellent, including the composition and the fine light on the distant formations. The sky may be just a bit dark, but I like the mood here. It would be interesting to see a B&W rendition.

Great lines and curves to make the comp solid and easy to look at. It seems the lighting and textures are what this image is about, and I am enjoying this one a lot. I kind of wonder if the top could stand to be a bit brighter, however it might detract from the overall mood this has. And I like the mood here, so... I don't quite know what I am saying...
Also, I like how you keep plenty of shadow detail, and keep it from appearing 'muddy', which is easy (at least for me) to do. Nice capture!

Gorgeous light, Alex, showcasing the badlands really beautifully. That ridge as a leading line is a great idea.

Nice dramatic light and very nice comp. The depth works well to let me move into the scene.

This is really nice Alex! Great comp and that dark sky makes for wonderful contrast against the sunlit mountains. I also like the detail you have in the foreground grass and the beautiful warm light ! Very nice work!
