Take the photo in a windy day

It can be seen in the orange clouds in the background

I like the composition, but the orange is pretty intense. I wasn't there, so you'll have to be the judge. There is a fair amount of noise in the sky.

Unique clouds and light …then dust blown in distance … a lot going on here. The orange is intense on my screen too. I like the comp. Ken S

Your comp is outstanding but once again the saturation is way toooooo high.
Very nice capture.

The orange in the clouds is a neat addition and the bits of dried vegetation work very well in the foreground. The orange is way too saturated and I've been there.

Wonderful composition and placements of the elements. Nits already noted.

Great subject, wonderful composition and choice of positioning of the elements in the scene. As others have said the brilliant orange, even if accurate under this lighting, takes away from the total effect. It is well worth the effort to reduce the saturation.

Enrique,

The composition is quite nice and I like the sky. There is some noise, but this could be from blowing dust.

I have noticed that your images are over-saturated, so you should really consider that. Just curious, but is your workflow color managed? Is your monitor calibrated? It appears that your reds, yellows and orange hues are very close to being out of gamut for sRGB. There are lots of references for color management that would be helpful to you, I think.

The wind (and dust) here can be horrendous. This actually doesn't seem all that bad. The reds are maybe a bit over-saturated but this scenery can handle it pretty well.

I like the warm glow and contrast between the well lit buttes and dark horizon.
