I had been thinking about cropping this to a 4X6 ish ratio, losing the bottom portion.

I agree Mel, crop it. And maybe even the upper right corner too. The black spot pulls my eye away.

What a beautiful spot.

Hadn't noticed the URC dark spot. I chose to clone it rather than crop it.

How's version 2 doing?

I like the second version better. Nice light across the plants and far formations. I bet the detail in the original is great! Nice!

I like the second version much better too. I like the light in this image.

Yep, 2nd version is much improved. Shows what a small crop can do.

I like the 2nd version Mel. I'd love to get back in there sometime. Looks like a great trip.

Laurent,

This is an easy trip out of Moab. I think it will be a better location for sunrise, but no camping is permitted in the area. If you'd like info I'll email it to you. This was separate from the Maze portion of the trip.
