Garden of the Gods slot
As I indicated before, I found a small slot type feature in the garden on my last trip. Like I was saying, I remember this area from my high school days spent climbing in the area, but had forgotten about it until I stumbled into it last weekend.

I haven't figured out how to blend this effectively and I think it needs different light, so I don't want to waste any more time on this. But I thought I could share the location. Its on the south gateway rock towards the east end. You need to head up the climber's trail.

Please excuse the terrible blend work. It is a work in progress and I just got tired of messing with it.

Mel, you should be able to rescue this without too much trouble.
Are you blending from a single exposure with different RAW development ?
Or, do you have multiple exposures to work with ?

But, since this is your backyard, just reshooting it might be a better use of your time..

Bill,

Its three exposures. It would be much easier to shoot in different conditions.

How about as crop to eliminate the sky? Just a thought.
