This is stunning - great composition and having lived in AZ for 7 years, your colors are GREAT! A beautiful piece!

[Bayou13]

Excellent!

[Deborah Secor]

True, you really nailed it, David. I think your composition is excellent. I enjoy the way the shadows across the foreground promontory are the stars of the show, and your progressive red to blue shadows in the canyon are perfect. Wonderful!

An incredible piece! Takes me on a mini-vacation to one of my favorite places.
How about putting a touch of light on the top of the foreground bush where the bottom of the dark triangle points to it?

[kennychaffin]

Wonderful! Love the colors/tones. What is the media etc?
