" Critical Balance 180' Off "
This Abstract may be one of my best photos from my trip to Arches Nat Park in Utah . But as you can see I can't decide how to work it.

Which do you like?

    I like the color and the texture of the rock in #1 much better, but feel the sky is too dark where it almost goes to black.

    I would back off on the intense saturation in the sky just a bit in #1. I like the sky in #1, better than the even, bland blue sky in #2, but feel it is a bit overdone in #1.


    Good shot. Very nice image.

    I like the graduated color in the sky in number 1 and how it almost reflects the change in dark to light shading in the rock formation, but I too think it's a just a tad too dark up top. :):

    I like the color of the rock in picture number 1, however I fell that the sky is getting so dark at the top of the photo that I should see a few stars startign to come out. Number 2's brightness is a bit overpowering for me. Nice shot!
