Thanks, Roger. Looks like you're in Atlanta-if you're also on Facebook, there's a group of local LF photographers in the North Georgia Large Format Photographers group-check us out. We do meet ups about once a month, and welcome new members and ideas for locations.Quote:

I am still on the fence with cropping down further to remove the white sky on the upper right. When I look at it cropped that much it seems cramped. Thoughts?

Very beautiful, Steven! I like the bright spot of sky upper right; it balances the lighter area on the rocks in the image center.
Thank you!Quote:

Magnificent view! I would keep the bright sky - it "shows me" where the light falling on the red rock face is coming from and it balances the image, which would otherwise be dark & rather murky. The dark vs. light interaction is like classical Chinese cooking (so I've read): it thrives on contrasts & "contradictions" like sweet/sour, or smooth/crunchy, etc. in the same dish (those slippery mushroom pieces are often put in the mix to provide a contrasting texture).
In your image, not only do we have the sky/rock-canyon contrast, but within the sky itself we have texture-cloudy on the left and breaking-light on the right.--alfredian
I agree. Great shot just as it is.Quote:
