    Ian - rich tones and color and the horses look good. Is that a fence or building behind the horses? I wish it wasn't there but not a major problem.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Amazing colour and richness with these monuments and having the horse silhouettes is a nice touch, although having them all separated would have been even better. The horses give an old west feel to the image, for me anyway. Would agree with Rachel regarding the sheds.

    Thanks, Rachel and Hilary. The sheds didn't bother me, but that's the nice thing about having an impartial observer. I'll try and clone them out and see how it works. The colors in Monument Valley at sunup are incredible.

    Thanks, Dave. That's actually another crop I tried, but wasn't too happy with the 'three sisters' dead center. I'd be curious what others think too because, frankly, I like them both and am undecided.

    Ian, I love the light on the cliffs/buttes at the back. The horses are a tad dark for my taste, but that being said the image has a stark graphic quality that draws me to it.
    Dave's crop is nice in that it eliminates the horses that were not adding much IMHO, yet it loses the nice cliff face at the back. I'm 50/50 between the two, honestly

    I have to agree with Morkel. I think I prefer the OP crop.
