Fred,
A wonderful & haunting picture of Monument Valley as the sun was setting (or rising) it's last (or fist) rays colouring the sky pink & giving the monuments a golden glow. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

An excellent shot of this iconic southwestern landscape. The composition is excellent and the colors in the sky are fantastic.

Comment from Kbanich
A unique capture of these brilliant red rock formations. The image offers a pastel take on imagery that is often shown brilliantly vivid with bright / saturated color. Nice frame and presentation. Kathy

Don't see many landscapes you have photographed. This is a nice one showing the vastness of the area. Lived in AZ for 20 years and never got to go see this. Regrets.

What an amazing photo, you got all three in this. They are huge compared to the road and cars. Beautifully presented, great colours of all the sky, the valley and the monuments. When I visited Arizona many years ago, I loved the colours of the land, and kept waiting for the Navajos, to come out on painted horses. What a great photo
