A couple more from Tucson
Here are a few more from Tucson late last month.
No more, I promise! :smile:

I think the crop on this version works a little better...

One more.
Thanks for all the replies on the first batch and on these. It helps me work on composition, etc.

Very nice! You got some serious color there, with a nice grouping of saguaros. There should be some blooms happening in about 2 months!

The colors in the sky are great. I like the crop better. I still wish the partial cactus on the left was not there to simplify it a little more. I like the horizontal comp better, although it seems to be tilted cw slightly.

Love the colors and the cropped one best. The large number of saguaros at the bottom leaves me wanting less. I can not decide which one is the subject.

Looks like you were getting some fantastic weather while you were out there.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the feedback.
These were from on top of Gates Pass, and one of only two sunsets that had decent lighting.

The first two are really nice! What amazing color in the sky. It looks like the cacti are cheering the sunset... TOUCHDOWN!!!! :biggrin:

I like #2 best. I might be tempted to clone some of the distracting cactus on the left, just to simplify the comp a bit. You sure can't beat that sky though!
