Returned from Arches and Canyonlands parks last week. I worked on composition and avoided the cliche scenics as much as possible
Nikon D200, 1/90 sec., f6.7 ISO 250, 46mm, polarizer.
My first post, so be gentle with comments.

Rodger, welcome to NPN!
I like the way you're "seeing the light."
The sidelighting really gives it a three dimensional feel.
The scene is very natural just as if the viewer was standing.
Hope to see some more of your work here Rodger.

Nice image Roger. I like the placement of the of the elements and the wispy clouds in the sky. Welcome aboard!

Avoiding the cliche is a healthy thing to do, IMO, looks like you found some nice light when you were there. Welcome to NPN!

The clouds make a nice backdrop to the rocks and tree. Welcome

Hey Roger,
Nice seperation and light. I like the different scene and approach. Maybe a hair more light on the RH side...but nicely composed on one of my favorite parks.
