Very nice, Aaron. It's great having such beautiful scenery and sunsets right in your backyard, isn't it? I like #3 the best. Have you considered opening up the shadowed areas a bit on the first two? The foregrounds look pretty dark on my monitor, and #3 looks about right.

Cheers,

Thanks for the comments. This area is about 20 minutes from the house with some nice trails.

#1- was intended to be that dark. Its a play on negative space creating a large portion of the image. I needed a ridge with some Saguaros for it to really work. Just imagine there are 4-6 large Saguaros to the left third.

#2- there is not enough detail (at least not sharp detail) to lighten the shadows.

#3- this one is lacking the detail I would have liked as well but it works better due to the layers and color tones.


Still working through the new system and lack of lenses.
