this is the Huerfano Butte between Pueblo and Walsenburg, Co. I was raised in Southern Colorado, and I was always curious about this site. I thought it was volcanic but found out that it was a huge mound of biotite alkali gabbro intruded by a dike of biotite monzonite and a smaller dike of alkali lamprophyre.<----ummmm yeah!! anyways when I saw this, I thought National Geographic!

This seems to be a touch under exposed. This alone wouldn't be so bad, but the orange border, being brighter, seems to make it worse. Would love to see this sans border and with more exposed! Is a reshoot possible?

Stunning Photo!!! The hill off center really sets it off for me. The green fading off into the Blue water and Red sky is breath taking! Absolutly Awsome!!!

This would be even better if the foreground were lit better. But, as a backpacker, I live for this kind of scenery! Hard not to be bias when I see photographs like this.

The soft focus of the landscape really brings out the beautiful hues in the sky. The diagonal hues of the red/yellow brings your eyes toward the top of that hill/mountain.

Certainly fits the challenge. Nice job!

I like this but.... I'm a bit distracted by so much sky.

Nicely composed & pleasing to the eye.

wonderful sky and colors. nice exposure of the butte against the lighter sky.
great textures in the foreground. could envision antelope or something running through the scene at any moment. this is an image that brings you there. nicely done.

I know why you did the border, but it detracts from the more subtle and muted colors of your scene. Plus, I would have preferred a landscape format for this scene.

good idea for border!

Another yellow border..... I can actually envision the NG title on this page. Good job.

Extra credit for the cover shot! You picture saves room for the NG title ;-)
Nicely composed, interesting sky. An element that would show scale might be a good addition.

lovely tonal range. Think a yellow border dosn't fit - but being NG I am not letting that affect my vote on this occasion ;) A poloriser would have done wonders to this image.

I like the colors good border its a cover page.

Butte-ful! :)

Nice image, a touch grainy looking foreground - don't care for the border.

Excellent view of the "little orphan".
