The lack of definition in the sky really makes the rock formation stand out. Very nice. I like the detail that was gotten in the shadows on the formation also. Very well done. 7

Capture of great rock formation. I can see lots of things in there. Good contrast, but an very unfortunate sky. Not much you can do however (?) What is lacking here to make it an "Ansel" photo, is an interesting foreground. I don`t know what is in front of you, but you seem to be standing there, taking the picture. What about lying down to give some foreground. This might just make this an oustanding photograph. Also work on you focus

Great vista with well-toned rockface but the weather let you down for the knockout punch.
