Michael, you definitely captured good badlands! All are well captured, composed and edited images and thank you for sharing these today! I especially love the first image in B&W—wow! I like the second image of the B&W sky above the muted colors in the landscape below but with the bright colored foreground plants. (Is this an IR image?) Love the layers in the third image. Very nice. The fourth image, B&W, is another strong composition too. Very nice. I love your last image capturing all the tonal variations and subtle color shifts in the rocks with the very blue sky above. Again very nice. Thanks for sharing!

Alan, a very beautiful collection you shared here today—and thank you for doing so. I especially favor the first two images—very nicely captured. And your third image captured in the evening is my favorite. I love the night sky—and stars above the beautifully desolate landscape below. Wonderful image! I also like the fourth image focusing on the very unique “mushroom” in this image. Nice. The last two images are also well composed and definitely depict badlands—but beautifully. Thanks again for sharing Alan.
Another nice topic John and some fantastic images so far. A few from my stash.

Jameel, good badlands you’ve captured! And thank you so much for sharing each of these wonderful images! The Death Valley image is my favorite of all your exceptional images. Very, very nice. Love the gorgeous sky—and its reflection below. Wonderful capture. I love the perspective in the wide angle image of Hanksville image. Very nice composition. Love all the details captured. The Bentonite Hills image is another perfect image and another favorite—love all the intricacies of mineral swirls. Wonderful and a definite favorite. The Skyline image is another well chosen composition too. Thank you for for sharing Jameel!

Craig, beautiful badlands you’ve shared with us—and thank you for doing so! Your first image, “Welcome to Mars” is a very strong and successful composition—and a definite favorite. Love this image! “Emptiness” is another favorite with a much wider expanse captured. I like the warm to cool color transition captured. “Desert Moon” is perfect composition with a full moon. Very nice. “Evening Winding Down” captures beautiful light upon the highly detailed landscape. Very nice. “No Way Out” is the perfect title—and possible outcome for visitors in this “alien” environment. The cool colors emphasizes this feeling as well. Very nice. “Bending Light” is a successful image in time of day and composition. Nice. I like the areas of light captured on the buttes in “Miles from Nowhere.” Great capture and great image. I love the highly detailed landscape in “The Goblins Back.” I love the lights and shadows shown across the highly layered landscape. Very nice. Again thanks for sharing each of these gorgeous badlands images Craig.
