My first vacation taken after I purchased the Canon Rebel XTI with my tax return last year.
My roommate and I returned to Phoenix to visit family and be tourists. We had previously driven the Apache Trail through the Superstition Mountains and decided we wanted to do it again. Really glad we did - we had a beautiful day and managed to get some great photos. This was my favorite from the entire trip - in fact - I used my Canvas on Demand free canvas for this print.

I am still not a photoshop guru but I am hoping this does well. I know there are going to be a ton of fantastic photos in this challenge but I will be happy if I can get a 6 out of this.

Image is overprocessed for my liking. Nice perspective. May have tried to tighten the crop to cut out the right side a bit (i.e. where the terrain levels off. Good Luck. 5.
I like the foreground a lot. It looks like an awesome place and you've done a nice job with the composition. The clouds color is a bit too strong for my taste though. Because of the tonal differences (or something), it looks like the sky and ground were processed separately. Wonder if it would look more realistic with a slight golden hue on the sky?
I have visited this beautiful location. Your image seems to be a tad over saturated. I do love the blueness of the sky, however the cliffs seems to be just a bit too sharp. Still, overall a nice photo....I might have liked it better if you could have used a stronger foreground image to balance against the background.
