WC #723 - Magic Morning

Just your typical morning magic hour in Zion ... nice scene (Checkerboard Mesa), beautiful soft light, perhaps the clouds were a somewhat atypical departure from the more common clear Utah blue sky which I was fortunate to be able to include in the composition and which I think emulate the patterns of the rock to a certain extent.  This was taken at 7:00 AM on 11/12/2013.

Canon 5D II

The scattered pink clouds are a great addition to all of the details in rocks.  Looks like a wonderful morning.

Nice light, and the clouds are a real plus.  I think a stronger FG element would help - maybe the checkerboard pattern behind the dead bush,  Nice as is though.
