 Garden of the God's Park near Colorado Springs, CO. I used my Canon Digital Rebel XT, manfrotto tripod, and circular polarizer. I shot it in raw and made the following adjustments in Photoshop:

Tweaked shadows/highlights (darken sky, brighten foreground), adjusted selected colors saturation, strengthened contrast. Shot at 20mm with a Sigma aspherical 10-20 lens.

Like the concept, seems rather over processed. More like a jpg that has been edited and saved a few too many times.

the photo looks a bit small to me, and my eyes seem to search for detail in the rocks

The size of the image loses a huge amount of impact.

This is a nice picture, but I'm just afraid that this will be voted down because of the size, you should use the 640 pixels that we are allowed to use in challenges.
