What a beautiful image! The concept of a valley in between mountains with a sweeping bank of clouds setting in is irresistible.

Yes, Kolob is the west unit of Zion NP. I had been to Zion but had not been to the Kolob unit so this time we started there. Have still not made it to GS Escalante and hope to get there before they sell it. I see that it's on the sale block. So sad.

Love how you've composed this and hung the sun on a limb like an ornament.

I didn't realise the scale of this until I zoomed in and saw the size of the trees. 😲 Stunning!
My sedimentologist friends would get very excited here! -
This has a rather alien feel to it. Very striking. The layers work well, pulling you back/forward through the image.

Stranger on the Shore
On the coast of Orkney. This boulder stuck out as different from the layers of rock it rest upon, and somehow the colour and encrustation of barnacles made me think of the skin of a blue whale!

Sorry for my slow reply,... very busy this week.
I like this image with its leading lines and the lonely hut. I saw in another post, that you manged to go inside and take a photo of the landscape through the window of the deserted hut, that was good too!
This one reminded me of a similar image that Andrew546 posted in his recent editing challenge, the winner of that challenge had made sure that the darker "shadow side" of the hut was displaying darker to emphasize its 3D structure and show the side in the sun as much brighter in contrast.
I had a play with the colours and brightness, sort of along those lines. Hope you don't mind,...
See what you think, the new bigger previews, now active in DPRerived, make it look better too :-) -
I like the first shot best, it's a bit of a dull day, but that splash of colour on the flowering hedge in the foreground bring some cheer to the day.
Nice to have something interesting in throughout the whole depth of the image; the house in the foreground, the lake in the mid ground and the background with those mountains fading away into the distance -
A steep climb but rewarded with some lovely scenes. Wonderfully green., and that fence by the steps looks interesting

Cool, it really does look like part of a whale!
