Enrique,
Sure would love to see this grand view from Arizona bigger! I really like this landscape and for whatever reason there seems to be a distinct separation between the foreground landscape and the background; almost like it's a composite. Also maybe because there seems to be some color differences between the fore and backgrounds. The rock formations up front and the juniper-like vegetation seem pretty natural in terms of color. But you get to the mid and back ground and the color seems off. A bit too magenta/purple for my taste and the sky as a weird yellow color. Maybe it's me, but I think the color is off up top.
Otherwise, I'm really liking the scene and even the depth created by the layering of the fore, mid and backgrounds.

Beautiful terrain, but I agree with Lon on the magenta/purple cast in the clouds - strange though, becasue the color balance in the FG looks normal.

Enrique,
Lovely composition. The scene's four layers are very nicely balanced. Your web sharpening looks great too. I agree with the others about the sky color. Although if you like it - that's all that matters. You can add a color balance layer and mask very simply by hand or with the graduated filter tool in PS. Email me if you have any questions.

I like your composition here with the emphasis on the various layers in the canyon. Something doesn't feel right about the yellow color in the sky, though. Since I wasn't there to witness the scene I don't know how it should look but it just feels a little out of place. Sorry I can't be more specific. Otherwise this is a very nice photo, Enrique.
