Red Rock Canyon

This is my first post to the boards and I really want to get some feedback. Please share your comments and critiques.

This is from Red Rock Canyon just outside of Las Vegas. It was shot with a 30D with a 17-40L at f/11 and 1/125.

Thanks,

Biggest thing wrong here is use of Vertical or Portrait orientation with a landscape scene.

It's nice, well exposed, has good color balance, and an element of 3 dimensionality in that there are interesting elements at all distances.

Other than that it is just a good picture. The easiest way to make it more interesting would be to have a human or an animal to give it scale and to add interest.

Thanks.

I like the way my eye climbs the rock face! Stunning blue sky also - did you use a polarising filter.?

Actually, no. The skies were a really deep blue naturally. I was pretty surprised how blue the sky came out without having to use the polarizer.

Nice shot....

I was there a just a week or so earlier....Feb 6. It was cold, windy and a storm was brewing...actually started to hail while I was there....here are some photos I took..

Nick,

Those are beautiful. Where is that bridge? We just drove the "scenic route" and stopped at most of the locations along that.
