kat, I agree with Jeff and think this photo could be improved with higher contrast in the mountain itself. The sky looks great, but the ground looks subdued compared to it. I am by no means and implying that I did it the 'right' way or anything like that, but after I visited the badlands I felt like my images lacked a 'punch', so I did some selective dodging and burning (and added some lightness/darkness layers) to accentuate their visual interest. I hope it won't offend you to link to my pic, which I am only posting as an example of what might be possible, nothing more. Wasn't this place a complete trip to visit? What a bizarre landscape!

AMAZING!! I love it! It's very eerie... if I didn't KNOW that there were aligators in there, I would dye my hair green, stain my face, jump in that water and model for ya ;) Going in my faves for sentiment and beauty :)

Looks like someone is having fun with Self Portraits lately! :D Interesting perspective, and I like the way the attention bounces between your face & your hair. Keep going!

I love the striations, this kind of rock formation reminds me of home. lol

I'd like to see an HDR of this perhaps to bring out more blue in the sky, and red in the stripes.

All in all though a nice picture.

I love the light and the clever shadow-play it creates. This is awesome!

The composition leaves my eyes a little unsure where to go... but I really love that light and the black and white. :)

First, thanks for your comment on my picture of my wife and (then so little) daughter on the beach (in the humerous title thread). I am a huge baseball fan, and love this picture! I may try to shoot a version of it one of these days, it's that nice! I'll share it w/you when I do. I'm 31 and still play believe it or not!
