More Red

This started as a 3 image stitch but I ended up cropping down to 2 to include only the stronger parts of the image and avoid it being so imblanced. Suggestions please.

Some beautiful warm light on those rocks and the mountain. The small version doesn't really do this much justice. Nicely done.

Love the warm light, which really sets off the red rock tones well. A bit tight on top for my tastes, but can understand the decision given the cloudless sky.

Chad,

I think this is a wonderful landscape and agree with Kah that the small version just doesn't do this justice. Well composed and wonderfully crafted with the stitch. Not much can be done about the sky, but it's the warm glow and the diagonal of the little bluff that really catch my eye.

No suggestions really, but I did just notice in the large version a little neon lime green patch on the top of the ridge, far right side. Have no idea where that would come from since I don't see any other anomalies in terms of color or processing. weird
Very nice work Chad!

Hi Chad,

I think everything looks great, except for the sky. It is very clear and the fg is interesting enough to hold its own. Very nice layers as well. If you don't mind me asking, where was this taken at? It looks like a gorgeous place and the light on the red rocks is wonderful. I also agree with Lon about the neon green on the far right side of the ridge line. I hope this helps.

Michael

Thanks for the comments. Missed the green spot on the ridge. Michael-this is shot from just outside of St. George Utah looking north to the Pine Valley Mountains. Getting dramatic skies down there in April is pretty rare. I will keep trying if I get the cnance.

So much to shoot near the Virgin River besides Zion! Nice work Chad!
