This is a shot I revisited from Canyonlands last November. Tried not to let the processing get out of control while still getting some nice open shadows. Comments and critiques welcome!

Jake, you did a good job on the shadows. It sure looks natural to me, but I would suggest either cropping the sky or reducing its brightness, to bring some structure to the fore.

Processing look very good and believable. Barren and dramatic landscape, but the light and the overall composition doesn't quite come together in this shot to make it a "portfolio image".

Love the way you've used the patterns in the foreground. Somehow the proportion of sky doesn't sit perfectly but I can see why you've presented it like this.

I think you did good on the processing this looks pretty authentic. I wouldnt get too hung up on the open shadow religion. A few small areas of shadow are fine and keeps it real.
