Love the composition and tones. Superb image.
Really nice shot. Chimney Rock is one of those magical locations in the SW. On top of the spine is a Chaco Outlier with astronomical alignments involving the lunar standstill between the "chimneys". The Taos Indians consider it an ancestral site and consider it very sacred. See this reconstruction done by a friend of mine: http://www.dennisrhollowayarchitect....imneyRock1.mov and http://www.chimneyrockco.org/standstill_intronew.htm

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep"
Pretty cool I remember the scene of the horseback duel.

Reminds me of practically every time I've been to Yosemite, specifically Tunnel View. Regardless of the quality of light, there are always people lined up with their tripods and cameras oriented down the valley, trying to channel Ansel. Same thing at Sentinel Bridge. I still stop at these places when I'm in the park, but the camera doesn't make it out of the bag unless the light is doing something pretty special. Ansel lived in the park for years, so it's not surprising that he caught the odd good shot :-) Being in the park once every couple of years seriously reduces your chances of being there at the 'right' time...
This reminds me of a rather funny situation myself and a buddy ran into a few years ago. We had setup our cameras well off the highway on a viewing area that gave you a good view of Castle Mountain in Alberta. The clouds were quite interesting, but the light was flat on the mountain so we were just...waiting. We were both quiet, and just looking at the mountain, waiting.
A couple came down the boardwalk onto the platform, and saw us, saw our cameras, and saw that we were just...waiting.
After a few minutes, they came over and asked us what we were waiting for. I unfortunately spoke too soon, and spoke the truth: I said 'The Light'. They didn't get it, and wandered off. They saw the mountain, they saw the clouds, but I don't think they saw the light. Ah well, their loss.
As we were packing up after not making any images (the light never did show up), it dawned on me that when asked what we were waiting for, I should have responded 'Snow'. At least then they might have understood what we were waiting for. Combine that statement with the fact that it was August, and I think it would have been pretty funny.
An opportunity lost.
