Drove down to Tucson the other day for a couple days of trying to grab some lightning shots of the monsoon. My lightning luck was not that great, but It was a fun trip and i did manage to hit every brew pub along the way...

The one you posted in the Landscape gallery is really, really good! Me, I love to crop if that's what it takes to improve an image!
I think my favorite is Desert Storm, though. Like you said, a classic monsoonal sunset,
and you were in a beautiful place to photograph it.
Now, where are the wildflowers? You mentioned you'd get both in one week.
Very nice set, indeed. Quite of few of those could be Arizona HIghways cover shots. "Petrified" struck me as quite unique, probably since the Arizona grasslands are shot as much as the iconic cactus images. The lighting in that image is quite dramatic, not to mention the variation in color. I suspect your expectations are high on any trip, but I would say you did quite well!

Kudos for the lightning shot over the painted desert at PNF
