Overcast dawn...

[BarryHamilton]

at Horseshoe Bend, AZ.
On my visit here in Dec '14, I had hoped for some sunrise color and arrived well before dawn. Alas the sky was solid overcast. That still afforded some nice soft light on the whole area.
This is a three shot pano which I hoped would give more sense of the height of the cliffs.

C&C welcome.

I think I know which tripod holes you used This does do a good job of depicting the height but the eternal problem is a lack of scale for things at the bottom. You have enough detail in the vegetation on the beach to help with the scale.

Nice light. I am a fan of overcast,

Hey Barry,

No color in the clouds, but the soft light does give the benefit of more even light. So for me that means the foreground should be a bit darker then it is. The sliver of the bottom to the right side rock is brighter then the background and I think it detracts and distracts. I would try darkening that actually just slightly more then the brightness of the horseshoe, that will automatically help draw the eye into the scene.

Never having been there I always love the variety of shots from the same POV. Well done.

Never get tired of looking at this place. Love it.

Nice job, Barry. I get a good sense of the height of the cliffs every time I go there. I have to crawl up the edge because of my fear of heights.
