One more from this sunset in Escalante. This is similar to Escalante 2, but a bit later and from a slightly lower perspective. I also boosted the contrast in the foreground in response to comments on version 2. C&C appreciated.

Scott, this also looks great. The contrast boost in the foreground brings out the details there nicely. It also looks like you've boosted the saturation, with the yellows in the upper right getting a bit too strong for my taste. Everyone of these shots are fine views. Overall, my favorite would be view #2, with processing more like what you've done here, although I also really like the sky in #3. What a fine evening to be in canyon country.

Cool clouds Scott and lovely reflected light on the rocks.

Awesome sky! Nice comp., beautiful colors and lots of drama. Must have been fantastic to experience first-hand. There are a few bright areas in the land that I would burn down but otherwise this is great.

Scott, I can imagine that this was quite an evening in the Escalante area. Running back and forth over the sandstone looking for comps in all directions. You have put together some outstanding images from your trip and this is no exception. Love the glowing sandstone and what a sky! Beautiful work.

Amazing colour, Scott, and a superb composition. Maybe the saturation could come down just a touch, but the play of light and shade across the image, and the touches of blue in the sky make for a lively spectacle.

I really love this one, Scott. It is much more engaging than Escalante 2. I like the added pop and the perspective. It does give me some thoughts about Escalante 3 also. I'll comment on that there.
For this one, the saturation looks a little hot on my monitor, especially the yellows in the upper right, but I'm not entirely sure my monitor is accurate right now. This is my favorite of the four at this point. Looking forward to seeing more.

Scott, I think this looks great. It is a wonderful view in great light. The sky is really nice and I love how the curved lines lead my eye around back through this beautiful landscape. Nice work!
