Wonderful depth, very nicely balanced light. Composition works nicely too.

This is so beautiful. Especially the large version which shows the fine detail of that foreground. Splendid composition with the sky duplicating the swirl of the foreground. Can't think of any improvement. I like the warm hues arising from the cooler ones. Just a great image.

Some very nice textures from the landscape to the sky here. I'm not entirely convinced the foreground needs this much real estate as it's probably the least interesting part of the composition.

Real nice combo of colors, excellent depth and a sweet sky. I agree with Kah Kit that the foreground is a bit too dominant, but it does work.

You did some very nice work at Zebriske, Dan. I think there is a little too much foreground here also. Having done the same thing at the same place I can understand how it happens. The ground drops off so quickly that the comp changes with each step. Love the colors and how you were able to hide the road.

Very nice, I agree about the fg, but there is enough subtle color there to make it work anyway.

Dan, That is quite a view! The light you caught here is very nice and I like these colors a lot. This comp works for me and especially so in your larger version. Nice work!

Dan, you sure had a field day in DV! This has a nice mood and the color is lively, but not overly so. Nicely done!

Although you did not state it but this looks like DVNP again?......regardless, an awesome view from this locale, Dan. I actually like the inclusion of the FG area here, seems to make a neat overlook spot. :cool:

Lots of neat details and fine colors here, Dan. The clouds in the sky set of the textures in the land very well.

This view has such a wide open and liberating feel to about it Dan. The depth work so well here, and the subtle color variations are great. I think the foreground works out fine, I can see a crop here too, but works for as is.

Beautiful work.

Very beautiful interpretation of the Zabriskie badlands! The sky and foreground outcrop combine to give the image great depth!

Gorgeous in every way. The soft colors in the rocks have strong impact and the textures compelling.
