Another rock formation in Northern New Mexico. This was right off the Highway 84 ~"If it is more than 6 feet from the car, it is not photogenic." Edward Weston to Ansel Adams

I like the composition of the image and the sky adds a lot.

Nice symmetry in the formations. The clouds are a bonus

Nice rock formations and you found a nice composition for them Rick. Well exposed under what looks like bright conditions. Nicely done.

I like the comp Rick, but it looks a little dark overall.

There's a couple of reasons why I don't do landscapes much at all.
One is ya have to get up very early, or be there very late to get the shot your after in most cases.
Two is I've just don't travel much at all anymore. Actually I never did get out much anyway

It's a well composed shot of these magnificent rock formations, just a bit dark overall as stated.
Might give a B&W conversion a go?
