Shot in Monument Valey last year..... late day warm light

I feel like this one, compositionally, doesn't quite make the cut. The flowing lines swooping from the far shrubs flow right out of frame, and nothing quite brings me back in. The parallel lines moving across center of frame might just be too much of the frame. There appears to be a subtle shadow zig zagging down the frame....perhaps less contrast in the rocks would bring this out and anchor the composition a bit?
As is, it's kind of on the fence between a landscape, and a graphic interpretation, and doesn't quite work for me either way. I do really like the warm light and your exposure on this.
Hi Jack,
I kind of echo what Chris said. I also feel it needs to be cleaner, especiall with these type of rock formations. But you know us, where tough on this forum.

Guys''----
I totally agree---that's why I Posted this one---I sometimes post stuff that's on the fence or marginal. Thanks for the confirmation!
