the most famous place in DV. Just a grab shot while taking my son to this place. Thought of posting it just for fun. this one really shows some sense of scale.

Very nice Debjit. What a nice excercise in scale! This really gives the viewer an idea of how massive Manly Beacon is. Good work and use of light.

Well done, debjit. Great colors, and yes by including a person you
certainly have shown a sense of scale. I like it.

The lone person (son?) really does give a sense of scale here. Love the colors and nice side light captured here.

Debjit,
For a grab shot, this really has very nice colors. The scale is impressive as well. Best Regards.

Nice! You can hike to the opposite side of Manley Beacon from the Golden Canyon trail and stand under it. Massive! In fact, the trail curves around it and takes you to Zabriskie point.

Debjit,

Great capture of the Manly Beacon. Definitely something you should post in Man & Nature. Great image of scale.

That thing really is huge, and you could never tell from most photos you see of it. The scale is nicely conveyed here. The composition is good, too. The blues in the background look a bit strong to me, though.
