This is another from my trip in early Feb. The diversity of the sandstone is truly amazing and unique.

Another superb image from your trip, and I think your best. It reminds me of Georgia O'Keeffe's art.

I really like the variety of shapes, sizes, angles and colors Harley. The overall balance is excellent . Artful piece indeed.

Real nice, sir! Being really picky: You might consider cloning the small black spots in the light-toned areas of the foreground. The composition is excellent, and your processing is spot-on. Wonderful textures, too.

Damn, this is real nice. Great lines, textures and range of colors. I don't see any way to improve this. The compositional options must have been endless.

This is excellent, Harley. The best in recent memory. Good eye for seeing this composition and bringing it to fruition. The importance of the small rock in lrc is noted. Beautiful texture in that sandstone and the color palette works well.

Wow. This is very understated and beautiful, Harley. The pastel colors are gorgeous and the textures amazing when opening the large version. Great eye to spot this work of art and I love the placement of the rock in the LRC. No suggestions from me.

Like a sandstone still life the way those pieces are sitting there. Great work!

I like the contrast of the darker rocks and the lighter sandstone. There are a lot of great lines and contours in the sandstone that add a sense of motion to the composition.

In looking at the smaller version, my first reaction was that this scene was too busy. But after studying the larger version, I got caught up in all the diagonal lines, colors, and textures, and now think that the image holds together very nicely. I really like how you emphasized the contrast between the white nd brown tones in this scene, it really brings this image to life. Very well thought out composition, this find is a real gem.

Wonderful subdued colors and presentation of the darker rocks against the lighter sandstone, well done, Harley. Beautiful texture in the background sandstone.

The sense of motion here is great, with all of the flowing lines in the base rocks. The scattered boulders are very well placed and make a great contrast with the flowing layers. Well seen.

Harley ..this is a beautiful scape...which keeps one guessing on the actual size of the scene. Fine diagonal and beautiful colors...

Nice composition and arrangement of the elements. The mix of browns, tans and light blues is pleasing.
