Last Light Thru Peaks

The Sierra East Side high desert certainly has wonderful and varied texture and color, both of which this image shows off nicely. I love the streaks of light, and layers of color. The processing looks great, and it is nice that that there is detail throughout. Well done, sir!

Harley,

The long, shallow diagonals are striking in this.  I'm torn though how important or how much I like the sliver of light up top. For sure, it expands the view to that wide open spaces and allows the viewer to appreciate the expanse of the landscape.  On the flip side, I'm more drawn to the bottom half, the one streak of light and all the colors and texture in the scrub (whatever term is right.)

Not a biggie, but I also detect a bit extra cyan at the bottom of the frame, but hardly worth mentioning.

You are the master of these sweeping views. The two streaks of light add some nice tension and visual interest. I think I would burn down the thin strip of foliage at the very bottom (below the more colorful foliage) to direct the eye into the frame. Makes me want to get back there...

A striking image for me, Harley. The two streaks of light give me a great sense of depth and scale. I just think of darkening the bottom and brightening the top a bit in order to establish a closer tonal relationship between these parts. Great work for me anyway.
