Lookout
This orange sandstone tower was nearby during a sunrise photo session at Paw Hole in Coyote Buttes south. Initially overlooked when I processed my photos, I've come to prefer this photo over several other more traditional landscapes I took that morning.
It focuses on just one thing but I like the light, the clouds and the vegetation equally balanced in this particular arrangement. What do you guys think?

I like the way the sky and sandstone colors complement each other.

I'd probably crop out the bottom 20% or so.

It's nice Gordon, natural colors. I don't agree about cropping, but maybe removal of the tiny bit of brush in the bottom center.

Hey Gordon,

That is a nice little formation there, and I can see how it would grow on you.

Thank you everyone.
Seems like the colors really are the stronger point in this shot. I agree with that. I'm glad you liked it.

As a suggestion in an attempt to make it stronger, crop the bottom just below the green brush and bring in the left side approx 10-12%. JMTC ie: keep all of the green brush at the bottom in the crop suggestion....

The light is great. I would not crop. I love the way the green leads my eyes up to the sandstone. The sky and sandstone colors work together so well.
