Title: Red Rock Sunset
Post by: David Eckels on November 08, 2020, 11:29:21 am

Red Rock Wilderness north of Sedona and 55 miles distant the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff Arizona. From my deck I saw this setting up and grabbed my 80-400 just in time; 185 mm of compression. Wahoo!

Good catch.

Excellent catch. I wonder, though, if the blue sky and black cloud above are necessary. They strike me as additional horizontal bands which distract from the beauty below.

Yes, I had the same thought, but decided to go with the banded "theme" along with the blue/yellow complementarity. I think it would work with your "crop" too though. If I print it big, I will have to decide.
Thanks for the comments, both of you.

It's beautiful, David. I don't agree with Jeremy this time.

It's a cracker and would look really good as a huge airport lobby type of print.

Thanks, guys.
Dave, yeah, I'm holding my breath in anticipation ???
Although, I must say it did print well.
