Has that old western movie sepia feel. Nice.

The warm light fits the place perfectly… It's a lovely shot.

The image colour balance is just as it was to my eye.  Really intense yellow/orange sunlight and orange rocks combined. 

The great light only lasted a couple of minutes.

Lots more from my road trip month-long around Arizona, Utah, and Nevada.  So glad to have managed to do this trip and get home before the virus really started to cause travel problems.

It is lovely and evokes a sense of the place. And a little different from the clichéd composition.

I like the viewpoint from the ground, it allows a great interplay between the plants and the rock buttes.

Rajan and Paulo

I often look for strong leading lines or triangular composition when landscape hunting.  The spiky plant in the bottom left corner was a bit of a gift.

Tones are off. But if it's intentional, I like it.
