Death Valley Dawn

[Michael Pancier]

This shot was taken while I was at Zabriskie Point. I swung around to the East (behind me) to take this shot with the crescent moon. I used Photomatix Pro to make a psudo HDR and added a ND grad layer in photoshop to balance the shot using Nik Photo Efx Pro 3.0.

I lik it for the colours. Th composition is balanced,althought not in the rules of three parts. VALERIO

Very nice Michael,

I like the use fo the sloping ridges entering the valley and the inclusion of the moon. I think a bit of the top might strengthen it but all-in-all, a very impressive effort.

I do love the detail of the ridges. A little off the top to move the horizon off center would add to this image.

Agree with the little bit of the top for proportion Mike this is really good Proud of you !!!
