Escalante Evening

[Zeph]

This light caught me by surprise, so I scrambled to fine something for the foreground.

Nice job of scrambling - this comp works quite well and those skies are amazing.

Very nice, Zeph. The yellow bush catches the warm light well!

 

[Darcy Grizzle]

Wow what a sunset , gorgeous capture Zeph!

 

[Ben Egbert]

Very nice Zeph, that great sky and cliff, and the rabbit bush in the foreground.

 

[Jim Dockery]

I like it, but would also like a zoom into the cliffs and sky to concentrate on the amazing sky.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

That's one intense sky. I would second Jim on the idea of zooming into the cliffs.

 

[Douglas Sherman]

Great job of rapid composition, Zeph. I hate it when I get tricked and have to go crazy trying to find a good composition when the light turns fantastic.

Hey Zeph,

Great job thinking fast here! I know when the color hits like this it sometimes can overwhelm our brains. I like the foreground brush and think it anchors this shot very nicely.

 

[Bart Carrig]

Lovely scene, great light with that fire in the sky. Well done.

Thanks Jim
I'll dig around for a "landscape" version, but your right, most of the action is in the distant hills. I often compose too "place" the viewer in the shot by including some kind of foreground interest, as opposed to appearing to look out a "window". What else can you do with wide angle lens, Zeiss 21mm.
