If I read the map right, Stagecoach, Bear and Rabbit, Castle Butte, and The King on his Throne are these formations in Monument Valley. I manipulated the original to look like and old print.

I think you succeeded brilliantly! An old print is so befitting these amazing formations and the whole image just has a lovely timeless quality. The colours and composition are gorgeous. A real beauty Jerry!

Great job, Jerry. Excellent "old" look- like an old postcard. Got the colors just right.

When blending the aged paper, I tried different blend modes in Photoshop. A couple of the blend modes gave a nighttime look. So I added a couple of tweaks and and had another version.

That about sums it up for me too -- and I like the nighttime version very much too!

Beautiful Jerry. You certainly have a reserve of great pics. I might clone out the formation or crop the piece touching the right of the frame.

Thanks. I've got a lot of mining left in my files to find some to manipulate in new ways. Or even to get around to editing in the first place.
