Lot's of interest here and good lighting, too. Sort of a large scale abstract.

Love the color and shapes in this DV image. The back ground is super but to me the FG is somewhat confusing. I thing a crop from the bottom would sort that out. Nice work though, Ronald. DV keeps on giving. Chet

Good looking image Ronald. I particularly like the comp and the muted colors. No suggestions.

Very interesting, Ronald. I like all the various folds of geology. One of these days I hope to visit Death Valley.

Terrific collection of textures and shapes and the color change works well in providing a sense of front to back movement.

Real nice! I like Jeffrey's comment about it being a large scale abstract. That description fits quite well.

Love those lines and textures Ronald. They really hold my attention. And I also agree about this being a large scale abstract. Good eye!

Ronald,

Very nice, indeed. You've got some wonderful color and texture. The framing works well for me, as is.

It really is a large-scale abstract.

Well done!

Great image. I just think the front part can be improved a little to be in tune with BG, like moving a little to the right.

Wonderful abstract with an exciting three-dimensional aspect to me.
