A chilly morning out in the Mojave...

Nice colours in the sky.

Hi Roman.
I like the concept of the shot but I do feel that the foreground is somewhat weak.
That wonderful sky does not make the shot on its own.
Your chosen foreground might be much more dramatic with much more detail if you had just gotten in a bit closer.
Very close to being a true winner!

I hear what you're saying Tony. I totally agree. I have too much ground in the foreground. lol. That's actually the challenge shooting at this location. Almost all of my shots here have about 1/4 of the frame with a whole lot of nothing going on. With that in mind, I know how to frame my comps next time I go there. :)
Here's an example taken from the same place, same day, but a bit later that morning.

Very nice, and I applaud you for not over-processing the image. Still, I agree with the comment that the foreground is not that interesting, and you might want to crop out the bottom 20% of the photo and see how you like that.

Much better. Crop 5-10% off the bottom to make the sunny tussocks stronger?
