Just returned from a few days in Moab. Here's a sunset photo from the Fiery Furnace Overlook in Arches.

Please let me know what you think. Thanks for looking!

I really like the warm colors and light. The shadow in the foreground adds some depth.

Beautiful warm colours, that contrast nicely against the darker sky. I like the mix of light and shadow in the fg too!. I don't have any nits at all, except for the image looks a little soft to me.

Great light and clouds!

What Chris said.
Needs some sharpening in order to look it's very best, though.

Ditto on the softness but i love how my eye keeps searching through the cool shadow/light foreground brush.

Beautiful light captured here Jeff but it wants sharpening to make it work.

Thanks for the comments. The full-resolution image looks sufficiently sharp on my home monitor, but I think I didn't sharpen it enough for the web, especially in light of the high degree of saturation on the red rocks.
