I've visited this place many times over the years, but I've never come back with a relatively wide view of the park. I tend to go to the 300-500mm abstracts. Last weekend, though, I had some luck with a landscape style image. This shot, i hope, shows the environment of the park, and I also hope it has a bit of depth to it. It is so easy to go overboard on contrast and saturation with Painted Hills images, so I purposely kept the adjustments to a minimum. I'm interested in reading what you all think. Comments and critiques appreciated.

Thanks.
