Zabriskie is such a cool spot. Hard to come away with a bad shot from there. I think if this were mine I might take some off both the top and bottom. The bottom to eliminate the partial foreground ridge and the top takes too much frame from those wonderful badland ridges. Very nice shot and it appears you had a good trip to DV. :toast:

Great light on the hills. I don't think the sky is strong enough to complement the bottom half in such a simple 50/50 composition. Given the quality of light and the fascinating textures, I would like to see an image focused on just the hills with no sky. Even cropping out the sky in this image dramatically increases the interest, in my opinion.
