Sunset at this location of a remnant outcrop and polygons just inside South Coyote Buttes.

Beautiful image Douglas. Those rocks go well with the sunset colors.

Sweet combination of colors - I really like that two tone rock down in front with the curve that closely mimics the layer just above it behind as well as the outline of the buttes.

Lovely composition, and one of my favorite images of yours! There's a little bit of a halo around the tall peak that you could bring down.

Thanks for the tip, Tim. I totally whiffed on that until you mentioned it. I think I fixed it. Did I?

BTW, it is good to see you back posting. I haven't seen you for a while.

Thank you, Ben. This was sitting in the archives because I thought it was too dark.

That is a lovely image Doug - glad you rescued it from your archives so we can enjoy it. The colors on the ground and in the sky go together.

Thank you, Alan. I have taken a number of images of this spot and this one seems to be the best composition. As I said to Ben, I originally thought this one was too dark to process successfully.

That’s one of favorite areas there. I like mini-me in this and what has drawn me to it. Great clouds and color.

You were probably smarter then me in that my last trip out there was in the dead of winter because I thought I would be smart and not have to worry about the sand hills to deal with as they would be snow hills instead and be easier to drive on. Which actually they were.

It definitely looks a bit better, but it likely comes from clarity. Using the adjustment brush you can paint on reduced clarity.

I'm trying to post more often, but I'm trying to figure out how to balance shooting, processing, printing, and doing something with the images without running out of time.
