Something a bit moody. The blue hour out there is no joke. Depending on the direction the cracks glow something fierce.

Thanks all!

Moody and mysterious. I love the blues in this scene along with the leading lines created with the cracks, Aaron.

I thought it was way too blue until I stared at it for awhile.
Electric and the comp is perfect. What is the squiggly line on the left side of the mountains?

I love this, Aaron. The color and vertical (front to back to sky) composition makes this one for me. It gives the image a more abstract, stripped down, and essential vibe. Blue is also symbolic of water, the thing the place seems so desperate for, so saturating it with blue works fabulously IMHO.

Now that is BLUE! It works real well with this stark scene. Quite the mood and well done.

Digging the moody blues in this one, Aaron. I'd be tempted to desaturate the blues a bit but that's a personal preference. The glowing cracks are pretty sick!

Wow, this is crazy good. The blue is totally electric but works very well in this image.

Love this.... electric blue, but more so what I like is the graphic quality of the flats leading into the two peaks. Maybe slightly saturated, but nice.

Incredible, Aaron. The glow of those cracks in the saltflats is flat out amazing. Superb blues. Superb image.

I love blue, and this image speaks out to me bro. The glowing cracks are so awesome, and really bring me into this wonderful capture. It is such an engaging and chill image all at the same tme, wonderful stuff.

Wonderful and mysterious in blue. Slightly too electric for me but not massively overboard either.

Thanks again all!

The 'overly' blue is tricky. I kept second guessing myself when seeing the raw and editing but I rarely do any color work other than some slight wb adjustments and my usual ps action. Appreciate the thoughts and glad this resonated :)
