Hovenweep 2

This one is not an HDR. Multiple curve and masking adjustments.
1/30, f/16, iso 200 lens at 70mm

Hi Bill, a straight forward comp that works well. Another way of looking at the comp would be to crop the bottom to the edge of the pointed rock which would create a pano.
Nice late light but I feel the image could be toned down a small bit with some added contrast.(to give the ruins a bit more dimension)

Hey Bill,
I like this one a bit more! I think you did a very nice job with the layers but agree with Dave on a bit of toning down and adding contrast...just for that final pop! Overall.....very nicely done and just a small tweak will make this shine!

I agree with toning down the yellow some.

But not more contrast, what you need is local contrast enhancement (USM on BG copy at 20/50/0 to start). WHen I see rocks with detail I think LCE.
