Badlands Again

Was in badlands, SD a few weeks back and really got changing weather.
THe first day just before sunset a storm set in and was raining a bit, but it was clear in an hour or so. The next day sunrise was great.

Here are a few pictures - do appreciate looking at these and please point out my mistakes

I also did a little bit of work as suggested by all of you to the Desert Sheep pic and posting the same here as well ..

I really like the light in your first pano. However, the horizon needs a major tilt correction.

The light in the first pano is great. I think I'd like to see a little more of the foreground hill. Also the dark areas are a little noisy. Looks like you had some fun conditions to play with.

Love that first one as well. With the few minor changes suggested it could be really fantastic. Good work on your desert sheep image also.

Good to see a larger version of that sheep, although I don't really notice any difference between it and the smaller version aside from size.
I like all of your images from the Badlands, with the first being my favorite, too. As noted, straightening the horizon is needed, but you'll lose quite a bit of the image in the process.

Nice series, with #1 pano being my favourite. #1 does need major rotation as mentioned though, if this is taken from a full frame image you may have enough to work with to fix that.

Nice images. I like the light in the first image. I agree it need a little rotation. Nice sky in the bighorn image.

Thanks a lot for your comments.
Yes, I do agree that a major rotation is needed, I had to scale down the image a lot to upload that to the sites, so actually resolution of the image is a little better than the one that you see. Will work on this.
Thanks again ..

#1---Awesome light and composition
#2--too dark, no defining light
#3--Wonderful light on the hills, but the unruly tree branches are distracting
#4--Another awesome comp, light, and subject.

Overall, great job!

Thanks Todd - got it.
Will be more careful next time.

Thanks Don.

Really like the compostion on the sheep image. A little work with this image could make it pop.

I agree with Don Grall. I wonder if we saw MORE of the tree if the image would be better. Either that or NO tree.

Ditto DG. Nice work!

Thanks - I do have another one with more of the tree ..
