From a month ago in Bist Badlands in New Mexico. I decided to push this shot a little more than I might normally do while processing it, but I like the final outcome. This was taken shortly before sunset, so I had some nice directional light to work with.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

I love the title. Very applicable. I never grow tired of seeing the amazing rock and geological formations in the USA. I like what you've done with the processing on the land. I feel like the sky is a bit dark though. Particularly the top left (this might be my crappy monitor at work though, apologies if this is the case).

Another great shot Jim. I need you to stop posting these or I'm going to have to get into my truck and head out there for myself! Very cool comp.

I'll have mine sunny side up. :-) Love the sharpness of detail throughout the image. The eggs make for very nice foreground interest.

Hey Jim, I dig it. I like the way the comp starts strong in the bottom right and fades diagonally up towards the left. The light direction mimics this same pattern, which provides a nice flow to the image. The colors are really quite beautiful ... love the blues in the sky but particularly the blue shadows. I do find the upper left and bottom left corners to be vignetted a bit too much, and would bring those up a touch. I also might crop away some of the left, like 20-30 pixels just a tiny touch. Overall a really well done image though!

Those are interesting formations. I think it would need the little extra pp like you mentioned/did.
Nice shot.

Hey Jim, nice tasty. Looks like a few have some thick cut bacon too!

Hi Cam, thanks so much! I am glad you like the shot here. As for the sky, and the upper left, I purposely darkened it that much as I adjusted the sky, so hopefully it looks better on your monitor at home.

Ha ha... thanks Steve! I am glad you have liked the shots, and yes, you need to head out there! Get your truck gassed up.

Hey Chris, I am glad you like the shot! I am not a big fan of vignetting either, and I didn't add any here, I just pulled down the midtones to emphasize the natural lighting of the scene. I appreciate the thought on the crop, I will have to look at.

Thanks!

Great comp Jim! I'm seeing the left two eggs on an amphitheater stage, and the rest in two semi-circle seating rows. You really can't go wrong with the orange and blue color contrast either
