We were at Bryce Canyon National Park on May 6 and there was 4 inches of fresh snow that morning. This is the amphitheater from Bryce Point with the clouds clearing just after dawn. I appreciate any and all comments.

Nice dramatic conditions! I'd crop a sliver off the top to remove the bright highlight middle right.

I was there a couple of months ago, this brings back good memories.

The clouds and snow really kick this up a notch. I like it

This is a delightful play with colors and shapes, Richard. I agree with the cropping suggestion that Lori mentioned, but this is only a small matter for me. An interesting composition.

some dramatic weather from this iconic place...I do think both your small and large versions lack sharpness...might be due to resizing only so maybe try and run a round or 2 of sharpening?

Nice view here Richard, as stated the snow and clouds surely help make this a nice scene. The image does look a little soft to me though. I might try sharpening it some.

I like the colors, and the drama here. I think a tiny crop off the top would clean it up some, and a little more web sharpening would be good as well.
