Pinnacles National Park, Ca.
D810, 0.4 sec, f16, ISO100, 24-120mm, Tripod. (Best seen on the dark screen)

I expected to see Mars Rover Curiosity come over the hill.

Lots of composition possibilities here. Nice, pleasing shot.

Very cool scene and photo. Perhaps a bit more contrast especially in the midtones...

Hi Stan. I can see that rover coming too! For me this image almost nails it, but I'm just not a fan of the pinnacle to the far left. It seems too dominating and out of place compared to the rest. In my subjective opinion, a crop to eliminate it would elevate the image and contribute even more to that abstract Mars quality. Otherwise, the colors ranging from the sky to the shadows of the mountains look really nice. The processing is also excellent with the shadows kept realistically dark.
