I'm finally getting around to post-processing the rest of the images from my last Monument Valley trip. Here's one for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy! :)
Hey, this one has lots o interest, and that sky is great. I'm sure the lighting is the way you captured it, but it's such an interesting rock formation, that I just cant help but to want to see more detail in it.
I could also go for a little more detail in the rock. But, I also think it works fine this way with having a small amount of detail. It's just enough to keep me looking.
Mahesh, it is a bit dark, but I think that is what sets it apart from others of this same scene. what I find the most interresting is the dark bands of clouds.
Thanks, all! I was going for a darkish look here. Recently I think I've been getting too enamored with recovering shadow detail :) Also, the fact that the surrounding page is completely white, makes the image seem darker than it actually is.

Did you hear they had a big rock fall there the other day? At first people were claiming that the "thumb" had fallen down. It didn't.
