The Stone Puppy

Lucy - I can indeed see the puppy. Is this something you found or a landmark profile? I think the shadows created during this time of the day allow the features to be seen. They might dissapear under different lighting conditions. Since the stone feature is the strongest part of the image, I might include less sky, anpossible zoom in even more to show just rock. My eye bypasses most of the lower parts anyway, so why not include just the meat and potatoes? A Thanksgiving reference!

I agree with Harry's comments.

No, Harry.This is not listed as any formation to see. The light happened to be perfect w/ the shadows, and I saw the puppy. Of course, I see shapes in everything.....clouds, rocks, stumps ..logs..etc.

I first thought about just showing his face, but, then it seemed that you would not "get" how big this puppy was. I'm happy to crop it. It makes a much better photo. Here it is...did I crop too closely?

As you have stated, the first shot does a very good job showing a sense of scale. The crop, on the other hand, is a better composition. My only concern is the magenta cast over the entire scene. It seems like those cliffs should be quite neutral in color.

This was shot in the Garden of the Gods in Colorado....the pink you see is the red minerals peeking through. Maybe I should have pushed it to an orange tint...I was surprised to find a formation that was not the color of an Australian termite mound
