The third is very nice, but #1 and #2 are absolutely stunning!
Great captures, well presented.

I really like the second one, it feels ghostly. Not sure if you introduced the central lighting effect, but if so it was a good processing move.

All three images are good but #1 is the standout by far!

The interplay between light and shadow, detail revealed and mystery hidden, is glorious.
The sweep of shapes and contours of the land and the vegetation - one becomes just lost in admiration - a great image!

Very fine shots Scott.  Great light and very thoughtful composition.

Nice work Scott! The lighting in #1 is eloquent, while I really appreciate the composition in #2. Congrats on a beautiful set of photos.

Good eye, Arlen. I curved and sharpened the Three Sisters.

The second one is superb. The first one is almost there, but could have done with more d-o-f.

Terry, Rajan: thank you. Yes, I wish #1 was a bit sharper.
