I agree that alittle more contrast could give it the 'wow' factor, not thats it a bad shot in any regards now, obviously!
:P
Really well done. |

Hi Don,
I have been thru Shiprock MANY times and I must say that you have, indeed, captured the feelings of sheer beauty yet utter desolation that go with this place.
Congrats on the BLUE! |

| WOW!!!! WOW!!!. What a great welcome home after a 1400 miles drive the last two days. Now I need to get the validation pic in pretty quick, sure glad I didn't break down and not have a chance to do. Took this on the way to Salt lake City for my youngest daughters wedding and just got home in San Antonio Texas. A supper thanks to everyone and every single comment was nice ... THANKS! |

| Hey Don: congrats on your Blue. This was my favorite for this challenge because it is an image that exhibits great tonal depth despite the limiting factors in converting said images for 640 and then the 150k. You have outdone yourself here. Look forward to seeing more of your work. |

| ONe of the most striking rock formations in the american SW. Lovely job with your contrast and toning. The texture of the old fence is perfect. And this part of NM is certainly desolate. |

Man, this is almost a great pix.
Advance rules will let you use the dodging and burning tools. If you had done so, you could of made this into a class act image.
Comp excellent, light flat, excellent texture, excellnt dof, excellent movement, blacks and whites really good |
