Incredible shot, Steve. I've looked at your gallery and your landscapes are really phenomenal. Looks like you've spent many years studying them. I had a photo of this and did a watercolor painting of it, so it was a shock to see it again.

Way to go, my friend. Your ability to milk your images for maximum DOF is a gift. I think Marcus and I are going to spend a week in Mexican Hat shooting MV and Valley of the Gods later this year. Hire an indian guide - the whole banana! This and the Esc. staircase in Utah are areas I want to spend time in. #5306390

Michael, its not an HDR image. A 2 stop nd grad was used to keep the highlights in the sky from burning out. Then some adjustments in photoshop to lighten the dark areas. #5306852
