Last Light at Monument Valley

[Douglas Sherman]

My goal was to keep this image as simple as possible.

Sweet - simple but highly effective composition. Nice colors with the last light.

I admire this image's purity. And the colors are downright decadent!

Wonderful image!

Thanks for your kind words, John. I really appreciate them.

It is a gorgeous image Douglas. Your simplicity goal works well for the composition and beautiful colours but for someone like me who doesn’t do much landscape photography it doesn’t look simple to get this strong an image.

Sometimes when you are standing at a good landscape location the light just happens to be perfect. It is just luck to be there at the perfect time to see an image like this appear.
What isn't luck is the fact that you go back to the same place so many times that your chance of getting the right situation is improved.

After seeing your wonderful work, Trent, I am sure you would have captured the same image if you were there.

I love how you swung the composition to the left. 99.999999% of the images all get both mittens in it from that spot. I know all of mine are just focused on both mittens, I really like how you changed this up Doug! Great thinking on your part.

The shadows on the foreground boulders add a nice air of mystery to this composition.

That is a stunner Doug. Nicely composed and the play of light and shadows is jaw dropping.
