Beth, these are both really nice. Very cool sky with lots of interest and excellent texture in the rocks with the added benefit of the beginning of fall colors in the foreground. What's not to like? I do have a couple minor suggestions that are surprisingly are almost identical to what I suggested for Lisa's last image. However on your's another step is involved. These apply to both images. Open a levels layer and apply a 50% screen blend. Then on the top image apply a gradient blend from the top to the bottom. On the bottom image apply the gradient from the top of the rocks to the bottom. On both images apply a bit of high pass but very little (about 0.2 to 0.4 only) using an overlay blend. These changes will bring out your foreground.

I prefer the second image, but they are both beautiful. I agree that the foreground is a little dark and will check back to see what you did! Where is Seneca Rocks?

Beth, on second thought apply the gradient on the first image the same as the second. From the top of the rocks to the bottom. Other wise the face of the rocks will be effected a bit too much.

These are both great images. Dramatic landscape, well (or at least pretty well exposed), sharp, great contributing sky, attention-grabbing Fall color. I think the light is better (more dramatic, capture's a viewer's attention more) on the 2nd image. It will be interesting to see how Dale's suggestions will affect these, and Lisa's images. My question for you. In each of the pictures, what do you want to be the anchor point -- the point to which attention is directed?

Yup, both are great and you've received some great suggestions. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Beth , I totally agree with Dale's suggestions and am anxious to see some of these suggestions on both Lisa's and your shots.

Stephen, I wanted the light hitting on the rocks to be the main attraction in both of them, and also the yellow line made by the trees below the rocks. Elaine, these are in Pendleton County, West Virginia. This is a major attraction for rock climbers as you can usually see the some hanging out on top. I have been here many times, but I think this was one of the first times I actually saw some beautiful light hitting the rocks and trees.
