Curious to learn what you did with the background. Foreground is quite HDR though.

This is a striking image. The relatively flat light isn't doing you any favors. The super-black sky is a love/hate thing. Certainly, back in the day, if I shot this on film with a deep-red filter I'd get a sky like that, and it's graphic as heck, but it sort of feels a bit much to me right now.

What I like: The composition is very well done and the focus is spot on. I do wonder why the sky is black because it looks like the sun is shining or you have some very strong lights, the light colored rock formation does look good against the black background.

What I don't like: I really can't see anything that stands out with the exception the highlights are a little strong wiping out some of the textures in the cactus and the rock formation.

Good luck.
