Gives a beautiful impression of time goes by and rock will be there forever...

You are on a roll Jeremy. Nicely processed.

This one is outstanding and intriguing at ehe same time. B&W processing is top also!
Bravo, hats off!

I like this one a lot. However, I think the rock is too dominant in its current rule of thirds position. The rock is so powerful it takes most of the attention away from the rest of the image. I know many like it as it is, but I think a crop with some off the bottom and a little off the right will result in a more balanced look.

Interesting that rock can appear to float...

That's because it's not a rock at all.

I saw it in Sky Wars.

Thanks, all.

That was exactly what intrigued me about this shot. It's an interesting effect.

In wider context...

It looks to me as if the rock is just now saying, "Beam me up, Scotty!"   ;D

I like this one more than the first. The rock is still dominant but nicely offset by all the other elements.

I also prefer the "wide" version…

Which leads to the question: Why did you crop it, Jeremy? Evidently you framed it well in the beginning.

I bet it was because the rock is in the middle, and feared a problem?...Which works here and very powerful!

Good point, Peter. I'll bet that's it. And, as you say, that's exactly where the rock should be.

I didn't, Russ. The first is pretty much uncropped. The second is a stitch of two images: the first, and one I took a few minutes later from the same place, but panned to the right and with a rather wider zoom (35mm against 45mm). I was rather surprised at how good a job LR did of the stitch.

Yes. Photoshop, Lightroom, and Camera Raw are incredible tools.

Jeremy,

Great choice...So much more to the image, It's like the rock is try to be being swooshed up into the sky. Defying gravity,

That sounds like an "anti-crop" to me, and very successful.

Late to the party here, but to me the wide version is outstanding. Special even.
