I like to begin my night exposures for the last five or so minutes of nautical twilight so I have enough illumination on the horizon to discriminate the sky from the terrestrial silhouette.

What is the dotted straight line from?

Thanks David – and I like your Gordian knot title, even if it brings to mind an axe!

Me too, those horizontal stains make the wall feel textured – like a rippled red sand dune.

Wonderful. ;^)

Thank you for your reply.

Robert, I think the ocatillo has a more dramatic 'reaching for the sky' effect in the vertical shot.

Robert, I also like the horizontal shot, it gives me a stronger sense of being actually being there.

Would love to have some comments on how I can improve.

Looks good to me -- a composition that keeps my eye moving and exploring the image. It just all comes together well. Just keep the crocs from biting your bum and you'll be right!

Thanks Rob! Down where this was taken the canyon walls were only about 50 feet apart, but close to 1000ft high. All that bounced light created a pretty magic glow at the bottom.

Thanks Ken. I have limited drum scanning budget, but went ahead with one for this shot. I hope to do a larger print at some point - that tree at the bottom is sort of just 'noise' in these little JPGs, but in a large print it might actually look like a tree again.

For my taste, 11x14 is large :) There's nothing quite like a print made with no more than 3x enlargment - except a contact print of course.

I see you have a large image hosted here. Very nice.
