This was my first trip to Palm Valley but sure not my last. This here was taken midday but i love the glow on the rocks.

Nikon Equipment, 1/13, f11, 16mm, iso 200, 2 shots manunally blended

Thanks for any comments and thoughts.

Rocks are gorgeous. This is analogous to the situation of shooting a slot canyon and trying to include the sky. You've manage the light well, by my preference, I suppose would be for all glow.

Good comp. I like the fg rocks and those hues of red, and then you see the valley as through a window.

I like the foreground detail and color in the rocks. Your blend looks good and you handled the mid-day light well. I'm not sure about the composition though--the background just doesn't hold as much interest as the foreground.

Beautiful. Only wish there were less sky since the rock and fauna seem more compelling. Though it provides a nice color contrast.
