A redo of a previous post (I think!) I love the monsoon season here in AZ. Redone with TK9.

Fantastic light and the sky also. I like the greens of the valley. The last time I visited the region was ten years ago and looking at this photo makes me want to return!
Well done.

It has that 'Hudson River School' of photography vibe, and I like it a lot.

Two slivers of light, one on the sky, the other in the greens, make for a great photo.

A beauty.

Tony Kuyper's plugin is a godsend. Hard to imagine Photoshop life without it now.
