The photo is a little flat. I know showing small versions on line require extra contrast but as I don’t like drama in a photograph, I tend to be conservative when increasing contrast. Having said that, the light was diffused so there was a wonderful tonality that held the scene seamlessly. We don’t often get to see that in the Southwest.

Thanks Francois.

Well, it is not surprising that much of our photography(and art) is dictated by popular tastes. Harmless if not taken seriously.

Agree.

This looks like the (lack of) contrast we have here on high summer days. It is what it is. Good scene.
