This is, to a degree, a work in progress. I haven't decided if the color balance was right, but liked the overall comp. I found this scene along the Needles Overlook road south of Moab. I liked how the various natural growing flora, including the shrubs at far middleground worked into the comp. As usual, comments and critique always welcomed.

Nice capture. Looks a little too much green saturation

I find the curve of the mesa very interesting.
CBal looks good on my screen.
Nice scene.

The color looks about right to me. The day looks more Southern than Western.

Beautiful scene. It's easy to see what drew you to it. I, personally, would like a little more contrast in the clouds and a little less saturation of the greens. Beautiful and engaging composition. Nicely done

This captures the look and feel of the SW very nicely, Bill Only thought might be to try and get a bit more textures in the trees. Really like the ensemble of foreground plants.
