Red Rocks
Working close to home, when I have time.....there was some interesting soft light this morning just after sunrise.

I like the first one, especially for a Red Rocks scene, but I think it could use a darker sky. I think adjusting the recovery and even fill light sliders or double processing the raw could improve the shot.

Yeah a darker sky would add more drama and col punch over all. Compositionally, it's great.

Sky looks spot on to me. You said a mouthful in mentioning soft light. These are beautiful examples of that! Wouldn't mind seeing the dark rock on the left opened up a touch.
