Rick's image got me thinking about a couple of comps I took with the same idea. The more I looked at this and processed it, the more amazed I was with the variety of terrain out in that part of the state.

Here is a big image to check out:

Ned,that is a really awesome shot. When did you take this? The Snow really adds to the colors......

Ned,
I really dig this. Not your standard PH shot...it's more grounded and natural feeling.

I like this for it's ability to give me a sense of place for the Painted Hills. It seems to me that most shots are looking east while this one appears to be facing west. Is that correct? I've never been I'm just guessing based on lighting I've seen in all the Painted Hills posts...

Ned I'm digging this image!! My only nit would be to crop out the bottom most layer. For me it doesn't really add much to the over all feel and I actually think it detracts from the rest of the layers.

This gives an awesome sense of place Ned!!

John - this was a week ago today! I wondered about the bottom most layer. I did dodge it a hair, but was interested to see what the consensus might be. Thanks for all of your comments!
