I am always impressed with some of the scenery we normally drive past in Canyonlands and Arches. This is just after the climb into the park on the Island in the sky road. I saw the clouds and the sun hitting the rocks and stopped for it. I could maybe pull the shadows up a bit, but I left it as a sort of minimal processing shot.

CC welcome.

Those are really cool clouds Ben! It's nice to have the clouds carry the scene with the ground layer just being the frosting on the cake.

I think the shadows are just fine in this. I would even out the blue in the sky a bit. Maybe lighten up the darkest of the blue and then darken the left side just a tad.

This was certainly a great place to just pull over and shoot.

We get some great mid day clouds here, but often faded by sunset.

Thanks Jim, I will give it a try. I don't think I used a polarizer here, but maybe.

I know the exact place. The nice fluffy clouds carry this. You just have to stop and shoot.

Yep, it's very inviting even if not an icon.
