YES I DO THINK IT WOULD BE A BETTER PHOTO WITHOUT THE JEEP IN IT. WITH THE JEEP IN IT, THE IMAGE BECOMES AN ADVERTISEMENT, AND HAS THE AURA OF THE ADS YOU SEE FOR JEEPS IN MAGAZINES. YOU THINK YOUR IMAGE IS BETTER WITH THE JEEP IN IT BECAUSE YOU'VE SEEN PROFESSIONAL SHOTS IN ADVERTISEMENTS AND ON TELEVISION THAT LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE ABOVE. ALSO, I FEEL THAT A PERSON WHO WOULD CONNECT MORE WITH A JEEP THAN THEY WOULD A PERSON TO BE AN EXTREMELY SHALLOW PERSON. but whatever you're into. you seem to know what people will vote up, and i guess i'm the only one who has a problem with what this image represents.
No need to yell. My point was only that from a photographic point of view I felt as if the shot needed a focal spot (the jeep). I admitted that a person would have worked as well. I feel as if the photograph would have been empty without something there. I understand that you are against advertisement. I enjoyed my time in the jeep and had no problem portraying that. I don't personally sell jeeps but I don't have a problem with anyone that does. Sorry to upset you.
This person has, obviously, never been to Sedona. Once you get up into the rocks, you see tour Jeeps everywhere. They're as common as cacti are in the valley. I'm just glad the one in your photo wasn't one of the pink ones! :)) :)) ;)
I think the Jeep is a PERFECT addition to this shot. It only looks like an "ad" to those who see it that way for lack of experience.
The color in this picture is just amazing. I will say that you may be contact by Jeep soon, because I too feel that it seems like an advertisment - however it is a good advertisment. This is almost like the images you see in the vehicle brochures.
Very well done.
BTW: The little plant off to the right kinda takes my eyes from the rocks on the left.
Congratulations on another stunning image. Good to see the Dimage breakup the Nikon/Canon industrial complex. Makes Sedona look exceptionally mysterious! :)

hey man, i don't mean to undermine all of your comments, but this would've been much better if it weren't a jeep advertisement.
Do you honestly think it would be a better photo without the jeep in it? I highly disagree. Perhaps if there was something else at that focal spot to take its place like a person but the Jeep really fits this scene and it has a personality in a way because of the facelike grill and that the vehicle was very much a part of the offroad adventure. In a way I felt as if people would connect more with the Jeep than they would with a person. (although I do have a few person shots from this area that I mean to upload soon)

Wowsers! Didn't vote on this one, but what a fantastic shot. Congrats man!
...2 on the front page at once and we only just started the new year...hey, give the rest of us a chance ;-)
red ribbon for the red rock - appropriate.
Seems my criticism left just before challenges' end was pretty much irrelevant!
Congratulations for your excellent placement for this gorgeous image, even if the Jeep looks white :)
An amazing image, as I said before... great score you have earned. I noticed you do so well, it didn't even hit your top 4 scores list. Keep up the good work.
great deep rich tones. love the radial effect of the sky, there's kind of a sonority (so to speak) with the jeep & its tires there. but the subject of the photograph is not colorful...
I think the over saturation here is wonderful. I love the deep blue with the deep red. I hope you sell this to a tour guide company in Sedona (or whereever this one was taken!). Good Job! 9
This is a really great shot with excellent colors. I think this photo would be better if it were a little brighter (maybe up to a full stop of additional exposure), but I like the colors and composition a lot. Very nicely done.
What a beautiful shot. I love red rock canyons. For the challenge though, I am a little unsure. I am looking for one particular subject to pop out with color. Whereas this has a beautiful color saturation through the entire pic.
I can see this gaining a blue, wonderful colour saturation, composition and impact. So that puts mine out of the running for first. However, this would be a well deserved winner.
Very dramatic composition - the burst of the clouds, the red rock creating a line along the thirds line. The saturation is a bit too much for me - but the challenge does call for it after all. Very nice.
I like the sky, but the rocks feel overdone. Part of what makes the work of Joey, heida and the other Photoshop masters around here so impressive is that they know when to stop. The tree that snuck into the right side of the image is a bit distracting. Cloning or cropping it out would have improved the composition.
Holy Moses!!! This is a wonderful POW image, ahtough I thought the subject was supposed to be the burst. This whole thing is a burst but it is excellent. I can see it on a brochure at a dealership - nah it's too good for that. Excellent image~!~
