Alan, excellent images with a wide variety of “layers” depicted. I really like the John Day Fossil Bed, the sunrise over Suislaw River, and the Lower Antelope Canyon images. The Mt. Hood drone image is especially nice as well.Painted Hills in the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument:

Very nice image with well defined layers shown. The colorful autumn colors and the shadowed mountains beyond add visual interest to this very nice image.
Josh, your first two fog images are very, very nice—love them. The images work really well for this “layer” task—absolutely beautiful. The rolling green hills in your last image also works well.Don't have many layer shots, but living in the Bay Area gives me access to cool fog layers sometimes.
1. July 4th 2021. Way better than fireworks! 15 second exposure.

Ken, love the B&W images, especially the first and last images. I love the many layers and the greater range of values in your first, and the less contrast and simpler range in your last—all are great! Thank you for sharing!Two images from tge Picos de Europa in Northern Spain

Kyle, I like the more limited hues and less contrast in your Jordan image—very nice and my favorite. Mammoth Hot Spring is a great choice for this Task. The white steam from the many layered rocks below creates a greater contrast than the Jordan image. The Zabriskie Point’s warm and cool colors also creates a memorable image.Here are a few:

Jameel, love both these sunsets—the warm/cool colors of the Mt. Rainier image and the warmer colors in the fog across the valley of trees. (I can’t choose a favorite!)Mt Rainier National Park Sunset

Doug, beautiful images you’ve shared. I especially love the Tatoosh Range, Coal Mine Canyon, Grand Canyon images. Of course I’m always happy to see any images of Bryce Canyon. The San Andreas folds image is very interesting and a unique Task inclusion.This is a great task as usual, John and there are a lot of wonderful submissions.
Here are mine.

Dan, incredible "layer" images you've shared––I love the B&W images, each layer is more defined by its tonal value. Very nice! Your Turtle Back Dome View is perhaps my favorite for its perfect simplicity. Very, very nice!Kauai Waimea Canyon
