Here is one from a month ago in Shiprock New Mexico, a vertical composition in living color as some have asked for.

All comments are welcome.

Jim

Beautiful shot Jim. You really had a productive trip to NM/4-corners. The sky is amazing. I'm not looking at this on a calibrated monitor and will check again when I get home, but the foreground strikes me as a just a bit too warm for my taste.

Great and wonderful capture. I have driven by this a few times and never saw the light like this.

Hey Jim:

You lost that little bush that was in the foreground on the black & white version, but the colors in the sky are just so sweet..... I'm going to go with the color version as my favorite.

Very nice!

Having a nice detailed foreground really gives the eyes a lot to study here, which then leads you back to Shiprock and the great sky. Nice job!

Great composition and lightning.
I am curious of why the scene, esp. the foreground, is not sharp? It is intentional?

I am glad you like it! The foreground could be too warm to some eyes, it is definitely warm. But I did for my final processing actually desaturate the foreground by 10% and added a touch of blue to it. So I guess I can say it was even warmer while I was processing it. I probably need to wait till I print this to see if I cool it off anymore.

Glad you liked it John. If you had seen my previous threads, I knew there was going to be clouds for sunrise and that there was a very good chance they would light up, and they did. It made for a great start of my day.

Thanks Tex! Yeah, I lost that bush, with the idea being I really just wanted that cool caked dirt in the lower left to set off the foreground. I thought it made for a good interest to compliment the look of Shiprock in the rear.

I'm wondering how you could ever have converted this gorgeous sky into b&w (the b&w shot was pretty sweet, though).

Beautiful shot, Jim.

Beautiful. I like this color version a lot. The foreground leads you in and the sky and the small rocks keep you in. A picture that brings pleasure with each viewing.
