While on a photo tour in Monument Valley we camped on top of Hunt's Mesa. It was a dream come true to be there.

This brings me memories of my trip there. Great trip but Tom sure doesn't know how to cook a steak.. This is some great dramatic light. Nice to see one at a longer focal length to limit the view to a smaller number of rock features..

Greg,

Welcome to NPN and the Landscape Gallery! Wonderful first post here; the light sweet and golden. What is special about the light here is how it's striking just about every part of the landscape; from the little sliver in the foreground all the way to the far tower and even the mountains way in the back. The mid tones may be a bit on the dark side, but that's a matter of personal choice here. I think you've captured a winner!

So, great start to the forum! We look forward to your images and just as importantly your participation in the galleries and discussion forums. Welcome aboard!

Lon

The light here is really nice and I like the darker processing. I might like just a bit more room at the top but this is quite nice.
