Would appreciate some candid critique.

Thanks,

Hmmm...It is not a great shot. It is a snapshot IMHO. I'd suggest getting lower to some subject and working with the splendid natural close-to-ground plants in that area.

Cheers,
David

Hi Dan,

I love the name "Sonoran Desert." It brings up such lovely images.

You're showing us what the place really looks like: cacti, shubbery, steep cliffs and wide flatlands. I think to make them more effective, however, your shot should have a more defined and focused subject. I'm not sure what part to look at, unfortunately!

Hopefully you can keep getting out there and capture the desert in all its beauty.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Stephanie. Good coaching!

Your second shot would be much more dramatic if taken with the sun behind you or to the right side to bring out the texture in the rock.
