Shot in the last light on our trip. This is HDR using a two exposure blend, for shadows and highlights. Also a two shot blend (same technique) in IR. Caution, m,ay be too intense for youngsters.

I like the IR version and the DR, but they both have ghosting and some weird stuff in the sky

I like both the color version really shows some nice contrast as does the IR, looks like the weather treated you a little nicer than when we were there in May

Both pretty cool shots, but I'm having the same issue with the sky in both that Zeph brings up. Fix that and you have a couple of winners

Tim, Nice shots. I had forgotten you pulled out the IR for these, good thinking. Rick

Thanks for the input friends. I do see the wonky areas around the clouds especially in the color shot. I shall look into a fix for it. All this is a bit new for me, and I'm seldom subtle. A bit of an extreme bend in the learning curve here. The input is appreciated.

I prefer 2 also - the colors in 1 just don't work for me.

I like both of these, Tim.
Generally, though, I favor color when in red-rock country. As I do here.

I kinda am leaning towards the IR in this pair Tim. I like the overall light balance a little better and vegetation is more interesting in this as well. The skies have already been flagged for some adjustments but it looks like you have room to do that with these exposures.

Hmm - not sure about leaning towards IR here but after being outnumbered 3 to 1 on who could shoot IR during the trip it's a bit hard to ignore

The 'wonky-ness' has been mentioned, so I'll dispense with that!

I like the comps and textural details in both these, as well as the overall lighting.
Of these, as they are, I go with the 2nd. Nice treatment here.

Tim,
Both nice, but #2 is more Ansel Adams to me. That is a hard area to take with the extremes of light and dark.
