Back to the Monument
I'm sitting here itchin to go out shooting but have to wait until this weekend. So what better to do than fire up Photoshop and beat up some old raw file! This is from earlier this year on a trip to Grand Junction. Comments?

By the way, it doesn't seem that I used to have to add "http://" to the WEB site link. Did something change here ir was it my hosting site? Anyone else notice that?

It's a really nice comp, Russ, but it does seem over-saturated, especially looking out to the horizon.

Really like this comp, it gives a wonderful feeling of depth to the image! There is definitely a color balance problem in your sky and background (valley and distant mountains) though, seems there is too much cyan and green dominating it., plus the top inch is really dark (did you use a polarizer with a ND filter?)

Lose the sky. Best stuff is in lower 2/3.
