I hope I haven't been posting to often, I finally have a bit of free time to go out shooting on the weekends, and get to process the images during the week after work :-)

One of my favorites from last weekend, I just got my print back yesterday and I really like the 8x10, I think I'm going to send out for an 11x14 on this one.

Daniel,

No worries from me about posts. I think we need more posts here! (including myself.)

I think this image works beautifully in B&W. Also the vertical comp does well to show off this rock outcropping very well. I also like the open sky to the left allowing the viewer to enjoy the light and form of the rock.

Dang those jet trails!

I like this composition.
Some people would complain about the plane trails, but it doesn't bother me personally here.

That is one very cool rock. Reminds me of Pinnacles N.M.

This is cool, Daniel. Lon's assessment mirrors my own thoughts. For a fine print, I would work hard to eliminate the two straight contrails. I think they would be distracting in a large print.

Good work! And yes, keep posting; but please be mindful of the posting time limits.

Lovely flow to this composition. I also think the high contrast works well here. Good one, Daniel.
