Muffin Tops at Sunset
O.K., I was hungry because it had been quite awhile since I'd eaten, and these formations in the Needles District of Canyonlands NP reminded me of muffins.

Here's another one, a bit later as the light was failing.

Nice compositions and light (esp. #2) but the HDR effect has effectively robbed them both of almost all contrast and produced haloing in #2.
Were it me, I would start from scratch with the 'development'..

I agree with John -- its more of a problem in #2 though. I like the compositions though and the light is nice.

Needs some blueberries, and a bit of work on the pp---but nice scenes! :smile:

I prefer the side lighting and sky in #2. The foregound and right side may be too light, as I think a darker shadowed area would give the image more depth and make the lit sides of the muffins stand out better.

Great light and I really like the details in the rocks.
