Congratulations Keith Bauer
Valles Caldera Morning

I usually hang out over in the Avian forum. Thought I'd try my hand here with this image. This was taken at The Valles Caldera National Preserve in New Mexico. I had the fortune to spend 3 days in this wonderful place and photograph the landscape as well as the wildlife back in September.

This image was originally a 3 image HDR. The colors were all very muted because of the fog so I decided to convert to a black and white. I enjoy the layers and texture this image provides.

I'm most interested in hearing the thoughts of the experts here.

Thanks in advance.
