Very nice light in this scene Jose and I like your composition. A very different scene for you with a calmer mood to it. Very nicely done.

Nice departure for you Jose. The light on the right FG rock is very cool. I like the diffused sun as well

Hard image to get right and you did it very well, Jose. Love the sun rays in the large view and the comp and presentation work very well. :toast:

I'm glad I looked at the larger version. Beautiful image and scene. The small one doesn't do this image justice.
Very nice, interesting spot. I think I could spend a week here taking shots.

Likes--The diagonal lines are cool. The light on the rocks, especially the sun on the left side face of the big formation. Color and temperature are nice. Control of exposure is great.

Critiques--I would like to see what a few adjustments look like. Main thing is to drop the shadows where there is no sun hitting the rocks. I think making them darker would give a nice silhouette effect and also place emphasis on the spots where the golden sunlight is on the rocks. Only other thing is the top right open area. I wonder if having it less empty (if possible) would look good.
