It's nice to go back through my images from last February. I found this one I liked.

Lighting was dim there last Feb. and no lightbeams, so it is a challenge to get different views and comps ....

this one was taken with

5d + 17-40L
@ 31mm
f/14
30 second exposure
mirror lockup
ISO 200

Used viveza on to brighten up the shadows a bit

Hi Michael,
You did a nice job with the shadow areas.........you have detail throughout. The shapes also work on this one. I've been debating with myself whether I like the tumbleweed. Is that a cactus also??? It does add a FG element....so that is a plus therefore visually keeping you in the image. Yeah.......it works........Nicely done!

Roman, not sure what that thorny thing is. I think it's one of those seed pods that sticks to you if you hike out there in the desert. As you know during last year's floods, the canyon was under water for a while so who knows what the flash flood dragged in ..

i like this one, too!! i think this one could work with or without the tumbleweed.

I have been stuck by those pods.

Nice inclusion of them in the FG. I might try local contrast enhancement to bring out the details in the rocks.
