Like! Good light, minus the road

Where is this, generally?

Enrique,

I like it too, but just as Steve mentioned... the road. I'm going to go ahead and move this to the Man & Nature gallery to be consistent with having ES&S, minus "the hand of man." I hope you understand. Please feel free to send me note if you have any questions.

I like the warm light on the mountain and how you've position the saguaro. In my opinion, I think this is a bit oversaturated - the cacti a little too green and the sky a little too blue and cyan.

I like it, but if you have the opportunity to return to the area, I would try and find a composition without the road.... :-)

Thanks for your comments,

about to move the picture to "Man and Nature", I am still newbie over here :), so , it' fine to me :)

about "... if you have the opportunity to return to the area, I would try and find a composition without the road.... :-) "

Yes, but then you will move my picture back to "Earth, Sea and Sky" (just kidding)

The road doesn't bother me all that much (but I guess that's because it's in M&N now... sorry :smile: ). However, I do wonder why you're hiding the mountain (which is your subject, as I see it) behind the cactus. I think that by moving your position to the right a bit, you could get the cactus out of the center, revealing the mountain.

Switzerland ,

I try to get the Sahuaro as the principal object and use the mointain as bg (the natural warm color of the mountain at sunset).

But, I going tol take various shots about Desert, So I will try again to compare, moving the sahuaro bit to left, because sound good :) Thank you
