Dead Horse Point State Park at sunset. I chose the sepia toning to bring out the textures of the rock.

Thanks! I took it from a bunch of different angles, and this was my favorite one.

An incredible vantage point to watch over the natural beauty of this amazing landscape. Perfection in mono, a frame that seduces the eyes.

I’m glad you like the mono, too! It’s my favorite treatment for canyon scenes like this because I think it really brings out the crenelations of the rocks.

The light tones in those grasses give this shot an almost I.R. feel… very nicely done!

You know, I hadn’t noticed it until you pointed it out, but now I totally agree! I’ve always liked the I.R. effect.

Thanks, Michael! Landscapes are my favorite, though I’m trying to branch out, especially since I can’t get out to shoot as often as I used to.

Thanks, Sherri! I thought it would be more interesting to have the grasses in the corner rather than straight on.

What a great sepia tones, I love that, makes it softer than color I guess

That’s the danger of landscape photography, isn’t it? Every time I see someone else’s pictures it makes me want to travel there, too.

Really nice perspective on Dead Horse and I like the treatment. Don’t remember the plants when I was there last. Gives the image nice perspective.

The plants are actually yellow flowers – Prince’s Plume – so they’re only out for a little while every summer. The toning just rendered them white.

Marvelous. Normally people go bonkers with the color:))

@Jack Larson, LOL! I know what you mean. The saturation setting can be a photographer’s worst enemy.
[Reply]
Caryn: The sepia treatment really conveys the starkness of that beautiful landscape. Sigh…I miss it so much. See you soon!
