Dan: Spectacular light on a wonderful scene. One of our sons just recently moved to Los Angeles so we have an excuse to travel that way and perhaps make a detour to DV. This shot makes me want to go there for sure. >=))>

I really like this. The light is sweet and the colors subtle. I like the composition and sky adds a nice element.

Beautiful textures in this Dan. Only minor nit, dust bunny on the right in the blue.

You certainly had a good time in DV, and with some nice light, too. I like the textures and details, here. You might consider bringing the cyan down, especially in the background mountains and the upper right corner. The color in hills looks very nice.

Terrific colors and shapes here, Dan. The distant shadows are getting very blue.

Wonderful light and capture. If there was more at bottom and less at top :rolleyes:
Those formations in middle are just stunning in the light. :toast:

Love the comp and the subject. The light on the background mountains really gives the image depth.
Seems like the color is a bit too strong.
