Rick,

I'm really liking your composition here that shows not just the fascinating rock formations, but also the environment; the patch of prickly pear (or some variety) work well to anchor the scene.

I recognize this "late light" and I think the warmth is appropriate. However, to me it leans slightly more yellow/green. And I see that mostly in the blue sky, which is less blue. Very minor, but perhaps a few points more in magenta and blue (just a quick color balance layer.) Otherwise, I quite like this one.

Great interest with those very cool rock formations BG Rick.
I like the layers of your comp..
It gives us the cacti FG, an expanse view of this rugged/arid terrain, all leading up to the rock formations/subject.
Well done :toast:

This is a nice image Rick. It is good to see more of the surroundings rather than just the frame filling formations. The lighting and color are nicely controlled. good job. Chet
