WOW Sandy. This is a pretty exceptional shot. So light and bright! Like the sky is on fire behind the mountain and the sun is looking down from the FG.

That is an amazing sky over the southwest desert landscape Sandy. I also like the graceful undulating line of the horizontal rock formation as well as the placement of the vertical one. For my tastes the yellows on the right side of the frame look a little blown. My only suggestion would be to try and tame that a little bit as my eye goes right to that spot. Just my opinion of course. Looks like you have some amazing photo opps in that area.

Really beautiful sandy. I love how the stones look like three kings over looking their majestic kingdom. I love the way the color pallet of the rock go hand in hand with the colors in the sky. I agree that the yellows on the right are a bit too bright and their color is so different than the rest that it draws my eyes away from the main stars. Really nice picture!
