Hey Sasha,

Wow! This may be my favorite shot ever for you. I voted for it for thread of the week. Awesome detail, and you worked the light perfectly! Way to go.

Jim



Jim, thank you!!!
Even if it does not get to the "thread of the week", your vote means a lot to me.

Sasha.

Beautiful light. I like the composition and your processing looks great, still very realistic. Well done.

Fantastic work here, Sasha. The flowers in the lower right balance out the photo by adding color opposite the nicely lit wall on the left. Beautiful!

Really nice image, well composed with nice soft colours. I especially like the yellow bush in the bottom right which provides an added interest and stops your eye wandering out of the frame.


Dave, thank you!
Bushes and flowers seem to be my trademark - I am always on a watch for nice vegetation on the edge of a canyon, to include it into composition
Here is another one from the same location (did not dare to come closer, as the edges can easily collapse).

Hi Sasha,

Beautiful natural looking take of the area. A very slight adjustment in the placement of the shrub might be better, but I think that would throw off the foreground rock coming up on the left. Very nicely done

Thank you, Joshua, the natural light was so great that all I needed was to capture it. Processing was all done in ACR, very lightly.

Sasha.

Tim, thank you!
Could you please explain more about shrub adjustment?

The shrub crossing the line of the rock formation but not the red striation makes the position ok. If you had positioned the camera a bit lower and moved right, the highest shrub leaves could have fit in the valley floor nestled right below the outcropping that juts out. Like I said earlier though, this may have thrown the rest of the comp out of balance.

Thank you, Tim, got it. Actually, I never analyzed where to position myself in regards of the shrub, I guess it is registered somewhere in sub-conscious level.

I like the colours and detail. I do wish there was less sky and more of the foreground, but it isnt a deal breaker for me. I need to head here on my next SW trip.
