I took this image yesterday afternoon just prior to sunset near Page AZ. We found this lovely little area by accident, but boy are we glad we did. You could spend several afternoons here and not get it all. Lots of opportunity. 5D Mark II, 24-105mm.

I like the comp with the large foreground element giving depth to the scene. The middle ground isn't overly exiting and I'm wondering if you could have lower the camera a bit to block some of it.

I tried that but due to the angle you got just the very tips of the formations. It cut way too much off.

That foreground is excellent with it's leading lines and patterns. I like that mid-ground too. A bit more sky texture would be nice, but we don't always get that :frown: .

The foreground is really amazing and interesting. The OOF background is a little distracting. I think the area's got great potential.
