p.1 #1 · Catch of the First Light at Zabriskie in Death Valley
My first visit to the Death Valley was very interesting.
Toured a few more places nearby.
Here is my first posting from my adventure.
Will appreciate your comments heartily.
Thanks. Kee

Upon all the suggestions, I have re-posted photos with 4 different ratios.
Let's see which one looks best!!! :-)
*****
The last one is the square crop with the bottom starts with "V" convergence.
First Light at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley - Original
First Light at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley - 4x5
First Light at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley - 10x11
First Light at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley - Square

Good, Kee. I hope you are not actually limiting your crops to predefined sizes, but rather simply moving the top down to the place it looks best, and not worrying what the actual dimension or aspect ratio is.

Beautiful light, colours and textures. I didn't see the original version but I might be tempted to crop even further to more like a 5:4 ratio - it really draws you into the folds of the hills... Just my opinion though - the clouds are nicely formed and it certainly looks lovely as is anyway! ;-) Lizzie

Thanks John, Jim, and Greg,
Your advice and suggestions are well taken. I posted the square cropped with the "V" convergence at the bottom.
As for the comment on Manley Beacon.. it would be a challenge to hike to the top of it, but I wonder how the view would be like from the top of Manley Beacon!
