Critique Club:

This is a great shot. You have found the perfect time of day to approach getting this image. The low light has created great shadows and texture, as well as cast a nice warm feel to the entire shot. Your DOF is well executed to give depth to the shot. Overall a top notch shot. My only concideration would be to maybe crop this in a 8x10 ratio instead of the 8x12 ration, cutting off some of the top. I don't feel the added cliff in the background adds to the overall feeling you're giving the viewer.

Very nice lighting. I like how there's just mountain in the picture with no sky, etc.

Like the composition, very nice light. You left the proper space for title & text. Your image contains alot of detail that could be brought out with a bit more careful sharpening. Also, the background is hazy, a common occurence. Since this is advinced editing, take advantage and select jjust the distant area and use a "clarifying" technique, e.g USM at a radius of 30, amount 30%, threshold 0.

I like this quite a bit. Where is the mountain Goat? With the sunset (rise?) colors you may have been able to get a little more out of the picture with 'overbakin' it... One of my favorites!

Could easily be in Arizona Highways. I would have cropped it above the shadow in the lower right corner.
