This was my first landscape shot. I borrowed my friends 20D

Warm and bright in the foreground, cool and dark in the distance. A composition of layers of different colors, leading all the way to the tiny little white cloud in the blue sky. A contrast of texture between the land and the sky...You seemed to have followed the book very well. And so it works!

[Gail Spitler]

Denise - Very stunning. Like the layers.
Do you remember where you took this? It looks very familiar to me as a Death Valley location.
Well done
Gail

Depicts Death Valleyin all its desolation. Little white cloud takes it from "Ho hum"

Nice photo, thanks for sharing.

Good work Denise. I love the desert for the reasons you show in this image. Great stuff.

[Harold Davis]

i like it too, denise! may crop a little off the top...maybe halfway between the frame and the cloud. you got some really nice layering in the mtns and they look tack sharp to me!

[Alfred Forns]

I like it Denise Was tempted to suggest cropping the bottom diagonal layer but will alter the horizon Like it as presented Excellent image !!!!

[Gus Cobos]

Well done Lady Denise, I like it as is...I like the contrasting deep blue sky and the earth tones in the ground...:cool:

[Oscar Zangroniz]

I too like it as presented. You have excellent contrast and a lovely composition.
