Really nice colors and textures in a pleasing composition, Scott.
The only nit I can think of is that this is so nice it makes me want to see more, especially on the bottom.

What a wonderful palette of color and textures. The image really brings the viewer into this beautiful backcountry. I find myself wanting more of the background red rock, but I suspect you came away with the best comp for this view. Seems like you'd have room to bring the highlights up a little (personal taste issue). Thanks for sharing.

I like this a lot, Scott. The layers of colors and texture are wonderful. I could also see a crop from the left eliminating the tree leaning out of frame.

No suggestions on my part Scott. I like the variety of elements in the composition, the fine textures and the warm light. Beautiful work.

Thoroughly enjoy the palette of colors and your use of layers and diagonals. Beautifully done.

Really nice soft colors and nice textures also Scott. I'm another that would like to see some more sandstone in the back. Really nice job on this.

A whole lot of interest in this image that keeps you exploring through the scene. You have managed to place all the elements in this capture wonderfully well Scott, and the colors and texture are great to take in.

Sweeeeeeeeet shot
