My last post has been bugging me for some reason; I finally figured out that the source files are slightly soft. This comp is not quite as desirable, but I still like it, and the files are sharp. I tried to get more contrast in the canyon.

Taken a few minutes earlier, so it wasn't quite so dark, and I liked the way the light was reflecting in the haze of the upper part of the image...

I see why you like the warm haze at the top of the frame Greg -- very nice!

Liked the last one and like this one just as much Greg! The gradient effect of color through the haze is really nice. The canyon area's certainly have more "pop" in this version.

The post-sunset horizon color is great. We must have crossed paths! I camped at Desert View.

Small world, eh, Joe? :) If I remember correctly, you and I were at Valley of Fire at the same time in January as well!
